Open-source alternatives to Stylised Character Controller

This project is a browser-based, real-time multiplayer action game where players control a character on a 2D canvas to absorb objects and grow in size. It utilizes a Node.js game server and WebSockets to synchronize game state, player movement, and chat across all connected participants. The application is delivered as a dockerized game application, ensuring consistent hosting and deployment across different cloud environments through containerized server environments. The system implements an authoritative server model that processes all game logic and physics to prevent cheating and mainta

Rapier is a cross-platform physics engine and rigid body dynamics solver designed for 2D and 3D simulations. It functions as a collision detection system and a robotics simulation framework, providing a consistent API for calculating physical interactions across different environments. The engine distinguishes itself with specialized robotics capabilities, including a toolkit for importing URDF and STL models to control multibody chains. It supports precise mechanical movement through inverse kinematics calculations and the application of PID controllers for dynamic body control. The simulat

JoltPhysics is a high-performance C++ physics engine designed for multi-threaded simulation of 3D rigid bodies and soft bodies. It serves as a deterministic simulation framework, ensuring identical results across different platforms and architectures to support networked synchronization. The engine distinguishes itself through a focus on concurrent execution across multiple CPU cores to handle large numbers of active bodies. It provides specialized systems for vehicle physics, including wheeled and tracked models, as well as soft body physics for deformable objects and cloth. The simulation
