About this Port

The main motivation behind this port is to provide a true C++ version of Box2D as opposed to the current C-like Box2D and make the CMake build system more flexible.

Notice: Since this port will be kept in sync with the Git repository, the master branch will receive forced pushes.

Here, I'll list the changes and the progress:

• [X] Restructure the directory layout
• [X] Update the CMake build system
• [X] Add a true namespace and remove the b2 prefixes
• [X] Replace preprocessor constants with C++ constants
• [X] Use C++ headers instead of C headers
• [X] Update the "Hello World" example
• [X] Update the "Testbed" example
• [X] Rebase onto the new Git repository
• [ ] Adjust the build system to properly work with Visual Studios
• [ ] Add Doxygen documentation generation to CMake

Hints for the Testbed

Some test bed commands are:

• 'r' to reset the current test
• SPACE to launch a bomb
• arrow keys to pan
• 'x' and 'z' to zoom in/out
• use the mouse to click and drag objects
