Chipmunks / Box2D Physics

[akr]

Hi,

I am new to game editor and I think this software is fantastic.
Many games (like on the iphone) are very popular because of very sophisticated
physics features.
Here is my question:
Does game-editor support physics to a extend comparable to box2d or chipmunks?

Thx

With a lot of coding it should be possible, since it's in C and you can't not do something in C XD But it isn't standard, since it's a Game creation programme, not a physics creation one.

Hi,

a lot of very very successful games are made with extensive physics.

Cheers

Welcome!

I'm afraid, there aren't any premade functions that allow physics like box2d as of now. We've had some attempts to build a physics engine and we only got as far as perfect platform collision. But things as rotating sprites according to collision and friction etc. haven't really been created with GE yet.
But I totally agree with you: Physics are an awesome thing to have and why re-create them if there's already tons of engines out there? What one'd have to do would be to apply them and edit all the code. But I don't know if it's that easy. I'm sure if someone of us got around to it (like pyro, hehe, jk, don't read this please) we'd be onto something.
