iPhysics for iPhone Gets a Thumbs Up

May 9th 2008 by

iPhysics for iPhoneiPhysics has been available for quite some time now for the iPhone. It’s a handy little 3rd party game engine developed by r4m0n. With it you can install quite a few games that have incredibly accurate and lifelike physics… Cool beans!

At last count there was roughly 50 or so different packages/games/level packs available within the iPhysics folder in installer.app. So there are lots of titles to choose from for sure.

I’ve only recently re-installed iPhysics, as I had issues with it running on 1.1.1 and 1.1.2. Currently I’m on a jailbroken and unlocked iPhone running 1.1.3 and it works beautifully. I’ve got 3 games installed in iPhysics (Crayon Physics, Sandbox, and iPinball), and I have to say I’m enjoying them. iPinball is pretty darn cool as you can see from the video below. Does have a few bugs, whenever I try to turn up or turn down the volume, the screen flickers like mad… But other than that, all good. r4m0n appears to be working on the flicker problems, as you can see at his Wiki here.

If you can’t find iPhysics in installer.app, try the following steps:

  1. Start Installer.app
  2. Click on Sources
  3. Click on Edit button, then Add button
  4. Enter this URL: http://iphone.r4m0n.net/repos
  5. iPhysics should now appear in Installer.app

My iPhysics appears in its own category as ‘iPhysics’. If you’re having trouble locating it, or making it available in your installer.app, let me know and I’ll be glad to help.
