Open Source Release: LiquidFun 1.0

Last December we announced the initial release of LiquidFun, a C++ library that adds particle physics, including realistic fluid dynamics, to the open-source Box2D. Today, we’re excited to be releasing LiquidFun 1.0!

New features in this release include:

• Multiple particle systems
• New particle behaviors: barrier, static-pressure, and repulsive
• Particle lifetimes
• Detection of stuck particles
• The ability to apply forces and impulses to particles
• Java support via SWIG
• A host of new demos: inside the existing Testbed application; and, a gorgeous new “EyeCandy” demo for Android

Several Googlers made LiquidFun possible: Howard Berkey, Alice Ching, Wolff Dobson, Dave Friedman, Stewart Miles, Jason Sanmiya, Kentaro Suto, and Ali Tahiri.
