144+
145+ [ bevy_xpbd] by [ @Jondolf ] is a 2D and 3D physics engine based on
146+ Extended Position Based Dynamics for the Bevy game engine.
147+ It uses Bevy's Entity Component System (ECS) directly for the simulation data
148+ and logic, which makes the design and API feel better integrated into Bevy while
149+ avoiding the overhead associated with copying lots of data to a separate data
150+ structure like in many other physics engines such as bevy_rapier.
151+
152+ In mid-July, bevy_xpbd 0.2 was released, featuring:
153+
154+ - Spatial queries (ray casting, shape casting, point projection, intersection tests);
155+ - Bevy 0.11 support;
156+ - Improved scheduling;
157+ - Velocity damping;
158+ - Gravity scale;
159+ - Locking translational and rotational axes;
160+
161+ and much more. You can find more details in the
162+ [ release post] [ bevy-xpbd-post ] and [ changelog] [ bevy-xpbd-changelog ] .
163+
164+ A lot of work was also done during the rest of July. The physics debug renderer
165+ was improved, collision stability issues were significantly reduced, external
166+ impulses were added, and Bevy's own ` Transform ` s can now be used directly
167+ for moving bodies. The narrow phase part of collision detection was also
168+ refactored into a separate plugin, which makes multithreading and several
169+ upcoming features much easier to implement while also improving modularity.
