Hello All

Just wanted to share a tutorial I wrote on medium about JavaScript 3D physics. Its more like an introductory tutorial using Ammo.js and threejs.

I hope someone finds it helpful :smiley:

is ammo.js best physics engine ?

I can’t really say. But I do know that Bullet Physics, it’s parent, is widely used.

Think of it like this. Ammo.js to, say, Phys.js is what Fighter Jet is to a paper airplane. If you need a fully featured physics engine - there’s just no competition on the market to Ammo at the moment. If you only need a subset of what a physics engine typically is - you can get excellent results with the few other decent engines on the market.
