Installing JBox2d in Processing (Read 1465 times)

ac3raven YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 7	Installing JBox2d in Processing Feb 15^th, 2010, 4:45pm I downloaded Jbox2d, and put it in the 'libraries' folder of the processing directory, but now what? I am very much a noob at this, and I'm trying to find a good physics library for game development, I've had some experience with Box2d in LOVE, but Processing is a whole different game. Help please?

As far as I know, you don't need the JBox2D library in your Processing libraries folder. You just install PBox2D and follow Shiffman's tutorials.

That's what I'm doing right now.

So I can't really tell you "how to use it," since the answer to that would be "however you want," as long as you know what's available to use. I found that the JBox2D library is still useful because there's a "doc" folder that has all of the documentation. Since PBox2D is built directly on top of JBox2d, it can be useful.
