bepuphysics v2
This is the repo for the bepuphysics v2 library, a complete rewrite of the C# 3d rigid body physics engine BEPUphysics v1.
The BepuPhysics and BepuUtilities libraries target .NET 6 and should work on any supported platform. The demos application, Demos.sln, uses DX11 by default. There is also a Demos.GL.sln that uses OpenGL and should run on other platforms. The demos can be run from the command line (in the repo root directory) with dotnet run --project Demos/Demos.csproj -c Release or dotnet run --project Demos.GL/Demos.csproj -c Release.
The physics engine heavily uses System.Numerics.Vectors types, so to get good performance, you'll need a compiler which can consume those types (like RyuJIT).
To build the source, you'll need a recent version of Visual Studio with the .NET desktop development workload installed. Demos.sln references all relevant projects. For more information, see Building.
Features

By user request, there's a discord server. I'll be focusing on github for long-form content, but if you like discord, now you can discord.
