Thanks a lot Bram! Sorry I missed your message earlier.. it was held for moderation.

That 19% is a speed up over the entire simulation!

Wow, I’m having trouble finding reasons not to get Chipmunk Pro now; that is an awesome performance boost. Great work!

Vector math is fun to play with. You’re right that you really have to profile to ensure you’re helping, though. I tried updating our vector math library at work with some targeted replacements (to use newer SSE instructions) and it made zero difference. Our library has implicit conversion between vector and regular floats; I think that’s a source of major slowdown.

Your tenacity paid off, congrats.

When you say 19% avg speed up,
Is that a speed up of the entire simulation, or just the speed up of cpArbitterApplyImpulse() ?

I’ve been browsing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be a lot more useful than ever before.

If you were able to do a cross-platform build that would be awesome. I’d love to try it out.

Thanks James! I’ll have to post about Scott’s game next. (and I guess I should make a cross platform build of this game…)

Looks really cool! I like the pixel art.
