Box2D Forums

Hello all,
I'm currently learning to dev for the DC and have a couple questions about porting the Box2D library.

I'm new to using cMake and I'm wondering why can't I just use a makefile to make the library? Also, I've read somewhere that when Box2D was ported to the 360, the performance started chugging at about 10-20 active bodies; what was that about? The Dreamcast only has a 200MHz processor, so how would the performance be on the DC? Would it be smarter to port Box2D Lite or the full Box2D library?

Thanks in advance.

CMake is a convenience. You are free to create your own make files, project files, etc. Box2D is actually dirt simple to build. The testbed is a bit more challenging.

The 360 should run Box2D just fine. Box2D has a custom small object allocator that is console friendly. Altivec optimizations would probably help a lot.

You have a dreamcast dev station? man, i launched the dreamcast in 99 as lead designer on the SEGANET team.

What are you building on DC?
