Nova Physics is a lightweight and easy to use 2D physics engine.

This is re-packaged Nova Physics Python bindings, as currently official bindings fail to build with pip install git+https://github.com/kadir014/nova-physics-python.git command.

Install with pip install git+https://github.com/gresm/nova-physics-python-fixed.git

The command will try to use the Nova Physics binaries and fall-backs if none found, if you want to force usage pre-build Nova binaries run: NOVA_FORCE="binaries" pip install git+https://github.com/gresm/nova-physics-python-fixed.git Binaries can be found here but currently only for Linux x86/x86_64. To force building from source run NOVA_FORCE="source" pip install git+https://github.com/gresm/nova-physics-python-fixed.git

The package will be installed under nova-physics namespace, but to import it in python use import nova. Uninstalling is simple as pip uninstall nova-physics.

Python binding for Nova Physics Engine

This binding aims to provide a Pythonic API while keeping everything as similar as to the original.

Usage

import nova

# Create the space
space = nova.Space()

# Create a body with box shape
body = nova.Rect(
    nova.DYNAMIC,      # Type of the body
    nova.Vector2(0, 0), # Initial position of the body
    0,                 # Initial rotation of the body
    5, 5               # Width & height of the rect shape
)

# Add body to the space
space.add(body)

# Main loop
while True:
    # Advance the simulation with the timestep of 60 times a second.
    space.step(1 / 60)

Requirements

• Python (3.8+)
• Nova Physics (Prebuilt in the PyPI release)
• Setuptools (Should be included by default)
