Features

  • Rigid bodies
  • Compound bodies
  • Composite bodies
  • Concave and convex hulls
  • Physical properties (mass, area, density etc.)
  • Restitution (elastic and inelastic collisions)
  • Collisions (broad-phase, mid-phase and narrow-phase)
  • Stable stacking and resting
  • Conservation of momentum
  • Friction and resistance
  • Events
  • Constraints
  • Gravity
  • Sleeping and static bodies
  • Rounded corners (chamfering)
  • Views (translate, zoom)
  • Collision queries (raycasting, region tests)
  • Time scaling (slow-mo, speed-up)
  • Canvas renderer (supports vectors and textures)
  • MatterTools for creating, testing and debugging worlds
  • World state serialisation (requires resurrect.js)
  • Cross-browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, IE8+)
  • Mobile-compatible (touch, responsive)
  • An original JavaScript physics implementation (not a port)

Install

Download the edge build (master) or get a stable release and include the script in your web page:

<script src="matter.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

You can also install using the package managers Bower and NPM.
