# Matter.js

|
### Status
|
|
|
|
Matter.js is currently only *alpha* status, so production use should be avoided.
|
|
|
|
This engine is the result of [learning game physics](http://brm.io/game-physics-for-beginners/) and getting a bit carried away.
|
|
<br>There's no intention to compete with other engines, so I'm not sure yet if it will be developed further.
|
|
<br>That said, the engine is reasonably stable and performs well, it's just not feature complete.
|
|
|
|
Though if I get time and people are interested, I may continue working on it.
|
|
<br>Contributions are also welcome, if you'd like to help.
|
|
|
|
### Install
|
|
|
|
Download [matter.js](https://raw2.github.com/liabru/matter-js/master/build/matter.js) or [matter.min.js](https://raw2.github.com/liabru/matter-js/master/build/matter.min.js) and include the script in your HTML file:
|
|
|
|
<script src="matter.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
|
|
|
|
### Usage
|
|
|
|
See [Demo.js](https://raw2.github.com/liabru/matter-js/master/demo/js/Demo.js) and [DemoMobile.js](https://raw2.github.com/liabru/matter-js/master/demo/js/DemoMobile.js) for many usage examples. No docs at the moment, sorry.
|
|
<br>When loaded, all functions are under the global <code>Matter.*</code> namespace.
|
|
|
|
### Documentation
|
|
|
|
See the [Matter.js API Docs](http://brm.io/matter-js/).
|
|
|
|
### Implementation
|
|
|
|
The technical details for physics nerds and game devs.
|
|
<br>This engine is using the following techniques:
|
|
|
|
- Time-corrected position Verlet integrator
|
|
- Adaptive grid broad-phase detection
|
|
- AABB mid-phase detection
|
|
- SAT narrow-phase detection
|
|
- Iterative sequential impulse solver and position solver
|
|
- Resting collisions with resting constraints ala Erin Catto's method
|
|
(GDC08)
|
|
- Temporal coherence impulse caching and warming
|
|
- Collision pairs, contacts and impulses maintained with a pair
|
|
manager
|
|
- Approximate Coulomb friction model using friction constraints
|
|
- Constraints solved with the Gauss-Siedel method
|
|
- Semi-variable time step, synced with rendering
|
|
- A basic sleeping strategy
|
|
- HTML5 canvas renderer
|
