JBullet for JOGL

Hello Jogampers:

Do you Jogampers think it would be easy to port JBullet to JOGL which currently uses LWJGL?

Also, I think if it is too hard I might as well create my own Physics library.

Hi

I thought JBullet was a pure Java port of Bullet. As far as I know, it does not strongly depend on our competitor, it uses only for the rendering in some demos but you can easily port them to JogAmp.

There is no need to create another physics engine. Dyn4j is interesting too, even though its author claims it's mainly for 2D. There is Jinngine too.

I'll give JBullet a second try since the author is an active member at Javagaming.org.

.. one jbullet / jogl use-case and jbullet port is included in jogl-demos,
but it's quite old .. so dunno about status. I used it long time ago
to show the ragdoll demo.

You're right, I "know" him, he is the creator of "Resistance Force" and the main developer of PureSwing. JMonkeyEngine 3 switched to its own binding for Bullet because of memory leaks in JBullet. It would be fine to clarify this aspect.

Maybe we should just update JBullet to check that nothing is broken.

Right now I can not afford a memory leak in JBullet. What do you suggest I do?

You know. I'll integrate JBullet to my project piece by piece while stress testing it. So I avoid any programming pitfalls.

However, any suggestion would be appreciated Julien.

Look at the official forum of JMonkeyEngine, they spoke about that leak one year and an half ago.

I will have to use a physics engine too in some months but I have tons of things to do before...
