ncollide

ncollide is a n-dimensional collision detection library written with the rust programming language.

As its name suggests, it is generic wrt the dimension: it works with both 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional geometries. It might work with higher dimensions (never tried).

An on-line version of this documentation is available here.

Compilation

You will need the last rust compiler from the master branch. If you encounter problems, make sure you have the last version before creating an issue.

The simplest way to build ncollide and all its dependencies is to do a recursive clone:

git clone --recursive git://github.com/sebcrozet/ncollide.git
cd ncollide
make deps
make

Features

• dynamic bounding volume tree based broad phase
• ball vs. ball collision detection,
• plane vs. any convex object collision detection.
• collision detection between arbitrary convex objects
• compound geometries
• ray-casting
• time of impact computation for objects without rotational movement (compound vs. compound is not yet implemented)

And various traits for collision detectors and broad phase collision detection.

What is missing

Some common features are still missing:

• heightmaps
