Hi there!
This afternoon I found the time to port the basic classes of my box2d extension to sparrow 2.0.1, as soon as I write a little wiki and some examples I will post it. I still have to port all the joints, and newer box2d features are not implemented yet.
I created a workspace with cocoapods to test it ( sparrow 2.0.1 and box2d 2.3.0) and loaded everything on bitbucket, is this the best way to share an extension or i have to put somewhere just the extension source files?
I planned to use it just by importing source files in my projects because i use cocoapods in every project.

edit: I forgot the link to the repo, here it is https://bitbucket.org/membersheep/sxphysics

Wow, that sounds great! Thanks a lot for all your efforts!

Bitbucket is a great way to share the source, definitely stick with that.
To make it easy to find for users, you could put a description and a quick how-to in the Sparrow Wiki!

BTW, we'll probably get a Chipmunk wrapper, too, in the near future — Rob Carone is working on that right now. With this and your extension, it will finally be really easy for developers to create physics-based Sparrow games. You're making us birds really happy! 😎

I just added a new property to Sparrow's display objects: "physicsBody". It's not used by Sparrow itself; instead, it can be used by any physics library to easily link an object to its body, without any hacks. I thought you might be interested in that!

Here's the commit:

Ok I will update my extension asap, but I'm giving priority to the spiewcontroller problem, soon I'll send you the test project!
thanks

Great idea Daniel!

Daniel

Thanks, Shilo! I thought that, while I don't want to integrate physics right into Sparrow, I'd still love external physics APIs to be easy to use and well integrated into the display list. Such a new property should make that possible, hopefully! 🙂
