|
### Install
|
|
|
|
Download the [edge build (master)](https://github.com/liabru/matter-js/blob/master/build/matter.js) or get a [stable release](https://github.com/liabru/matter-js/releases) and include the script in your web page:
|
|
|
|
<script src="matter.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
|
|
|
|
You can also install using the package managers [Bower](http://bower.io/search/?q=matter-js) and [NPM](https://www.npmjs.org/package/matter-js).
|
|
|
|
bower install matter-js
|
|
npm install matter-js
|
|
|
|
### Usage
|
|
|
|
See the [Getting started](https://github.com/liabru/matter-js/wiki/Getting-started) wiki page for a minimal usage example.
|
|
|
|
Matter.js includes a sample renderer, but this is optional and it's easy to use your own.
|
|
See the [Rendering](https://github.com/liabru/matter-js/wiki/Rendering) wiki page for information, including on how to use your own custom game loop.
|
|
|
|
Check out the [demo page](http://brm.io/matter-js-demo-master/) for more examples and then refer to [Demo.js](https://github.com/liabru/matter-js/blob/master/demo/js/Demo.js) to see how they work. Some of the demos are also available on [codepen](http://codepen.io/collection/Fuagy/), where you can easily experiment with them.
|
|
|
|
### Documentation
|
|
|
|
Edge build documentation is at [Matter.js API Docs (master)](http://brm.io/matter-js-docs-master/)
|
|
Stable release documentation is at [Matter.js API Docs (v0.8.0)](http://brm.io/matter-js-docs/)
|
|
|
|
### Building and Contributing
|
|
|
|
To build you must first install [node.js](http://nodejs.org/) and [gulp](http://gulpjs.com/), then run
|
|
|
|
npm install
|
|
|
|
This will install the required build dependencies, then run
|
|
|
|
gulp dev
|
|
|
|
which is a task that builds the `matter-dev.js` file, spawns a `connect` and `watch` server, then opens `demo/dev.html` in your browser. Any changes you make to the source will automatically rebuild `matter-dev.js` and reload your browser for quick and easy testing.
|
|
|
|
Contributions are welcome, please ensure they follow the same style and architecture as the rest of the code. You should run `gulp test` to ensure `jshint` gives no errors. Please do not include any changes to the files in the `build` directory.
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to contribute but not sure what to work on, feel free to message me. Thanks!

### Changelog
|

|
### Implementation
|
|
|
|
The engine uses 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 / WebGL renderer
|
