bullet.js - Javascript Ragdoll Physics

I ported more classes from JBullet to Javascript Physics engine bullet.js, wrote some new and assembled a new canvas demo showing javascript ragdoll physics: Click. Now almost all classes from JBullet are ported, except some for vehicle physics. The size of bullet.js is now about 330kB. The demo shows on my pc using Chrome ca. 40fps. The current drawing (software 3d using canvas) is not very performant, so soon there will be bullet.js+WebGl demos.

bullet.js - Javascript Physics Engine

I finished porting parts of the JBullet and Vecmath library from Java to Javascript. As the result there is another 3D Physics Engine for Javascript named bullet.js (because its based on the Bullet Physics Engine). Its size is about 200kB. Here is a canvas-demo, showing the engine in action. The demo consists of the same animation with 20 boxes as the java physics demo, I posted before. Thus one can compare the different performances. On my computer I get following frames per second:

• Java: 300 Fps
• Javascript Chrome: 45 Fps
• Javascript Firefox 4b1: 10 Fps
• Javascript Firefox 3.6: 3 Fps

This shows 2 points. Point 1: Google Javascript is quite performant, Mozilla must still improve things. Point 2: Although Javascript execution speed has great improved in the last years, there is still a big performance gap wrt. Java. Maybe javascript will never run as fast as java, because of its dynamic nature/typing? Time will tell. :)
Anyways, currently there is a canvas demo, but the real purpose of a 3d javascript physics engine would be WebGl. So there will be WebGL demos soon on this blog.
A issue exists with the javascript port: the boxes in the demo sometimes show strange behavior, they bump from the ground and fly through the air.. In the java demo they dont do that, so there must be a bug in the Javascript code. If there is someone who actually understands how the bullet engine works (I dont, I just ported it :) it would be nice, if I get help to find the bug.
