What is Box2D? Box2D is a feature rich 2D rigid body physics engine, written in C++ by Erin Catto. It has been used in many games, including Crayon Physics Deluxe, winner of the 2008 Independant Game Festival Grand Prize. Box2D uses the MIT licenselicense and can be used free of charge.
What programming language is boxbox2d written in?
Box2D is developed on Windows using Visual C++. Ports are also available for Flash, Java, C#, Python. Erin Catto maintains the C++ version, but provides no support for other languages.
What is the difference between dynamics and collision in Box2D?
The Collision module defines shapes, a broad-phase, and collision functions/queries. Finally the Dynamics module provides the simulation world, bodies, fixtures, and joints. Box2D works with floating point numbers and tolerances have to be used to make Box2D perform well.
What is the size of moving objects in Box2D?
Caution: Box2D is tuned for MKS units. Keep the size of moving objects roughly between 0.1 and 10 meters. You’ll need to use some scaling system when you render your environment and actors. The Box2D testbed does this by using an OpenGL viewport transform.

Who is the creator of the Box2D engine?
The engine is written and maintained by one Erin Catto who it seems, not satisfied by simply making kick-ass physics as a day-job, set up Box2D to make kick-ass physics as a hobby as well. Box2D is written in C++, but has been ported to many different languages by the user community.
