javascript physics made easy
and event management easier

Intro

boxboxevents is a fork by Christophe Rosset, of the original version of boxbox, created by Greg Smith

What was in boxbox ?

An abstract layer to make the manipulation of objects in the box2d physics engine simplier, for game development.

What's more in boxboxevents ?

A whole mouse / multitouch events management of the entities, such as drag, pan, pinch ... as well as a viewport api to manage world constraints, automatic rescaling, etc ...

Features

• simple API
• work with entities rather than fixtures, bodies, and shapes
• attach events to entities rather than the whole world
• reuse common configuration among similar entities
• built in canvas rendering with image support
• mouse / multitouch events with multiple callbacks
• viewport constraints

Demo

I made a little demo game to show the possibilities of boxboxevents : smileyFaces. You can play it as well on desktop/tablet/mobile.

• Try smileyFaces with the callback logs (great to understand when/how/which callbacks are triggered)
• Try smileyFaces without the callback logs
• Sources on github

Getting started
