Hi, anyone know a good physics library?

I have tried the following:

Dark physics; but it is way to bugged for me to use it and you have to download a driver before you can use it.

Newton game dynamics; the wrapper for DBPro is great but i just can't seem to make it work without some kind of error getting thrown at me (See thread in programming section)

Sparky's Col DLL; Easy to use and fast but still i need to have the possibility of adding dynamic bodies.


So anyone know a good lib? I need character controllers and dynamic bodies primarily.

I'm also a Fulcrum user. Building a Game Development system off of GDK + Fulcrum right now. I can tell you from my experience with both QuickODE and Fulcrum that QuickODE is easier to set up (by a bit, not a huge lot) and doesn't need "drivers," but Fulcrum is more feature-complete for now.

I hear that both _Pauli_ and Matty Halewood are working on new versions of their wrappers. Good things all around!

My vote goes to Fulcrum. It's what I use. I've got Dark Physics but haven't taken the time to figure it out. Never touched most of the others, but Tokamok is free with source if you care to dig into it. I was planning on diving into it myself but then Matty came out with Fulcrum; if only *it* was open source...

Just letting you know, Fulcrum Physics is just a wrapper for the PhysX SDK which is what Dark Physics is as well. It's just coded better.
