Slingshot
A constraint-based physics engine for 3D rigid body dynamics, designed for robotics simulation and game development.
What is Slingshot?
Slingshot is a constraint-based physics engine for 3D rigid body dynamics, built around a custom entity-component-system (T-RECS). It solves the problem of simulating complex physical interactions, such as collisions and robotic movements, with support for scenario creation via an editor or API. The engine can run with graphical rendering or headlessly, making it suitable for both visualization and pure computation.
Robotics engineers and researchers who need a customizable simulation environment for testing control algorithms, as well as game developers looking for a physics engine with constraint-based dynamics.
Developers choose Slingshot for its focus on constraint-based dynamics, cross-platform compatibility, and the flexibility of a custom ECS architecture, which is particularly optimized for robotic simulation and extensibility.
