@supergoose , I think it's fair to say that they do, for now at least. As a gamedev hobbyist I can afford to spend my time dinking around with home spun physics. I'm guessing that if I was working on a game for money, I would end up using a mature library, rather than letting myself get lost in building my own.
For now though, getting lost in my own physics code is a nice daily break :-D

I hear that. I have played with rolling my own physics engine before. It would be nice to play around with again... Please, feel free to share your work if you have anything you feel like sharing! I always love seeing what other individuals have created.

@genka

@supergoose thanks!

Just got my current project running here:
https://gmalyshev.net/space
You can grab the code with a
`git clone https://gmalyshev.net/git/space`

It's at a bit of a "well this doesn't do anything" stage, but I'm pretty excited for where I want to take it! Just as soon as I write a few more unit tests. Aways need more unit tests.

So far, you can just pilot your red guitar through the red circles using WASD.

Yo! This is badass! I just killed about 15 minutes, but by the end I was able to get flying towards a circle, then turn at the last second and hit the circle like a bat and ball. (with about 25% success rate) Haha!!

Well played!

@genka

@supergoose Haha, glad to hear it!
Now that you mention it, this thing can probably turn into a wonky space-golf thing pretty quickly...
Hmmmm...

Space Golf is a golf I could get on board with!

@genka

@neon I guess I am, now that I know about it! Thanks for the heads up!

Probably won't try to make an actual game though. Gotta find something I can get done in the limited time I have over the next couple of weekends...

@genka Cool! Be sure to post pictures / videos in the gamedev hashtag, procedural stuff is really cool!
