Haha yeah I know. I really should. I am just too busy messing with my terrain editor and some free programs which I am going to be releasing to the community soon. I think Dark Physics will be the next thing that I will be working with.

I have DP, I use it once and awhile, I haven't made anything serious with it yet though :\ Lot's of plans, less than sufficient motivation at the moment.

I have it, but only bought it and a PPU to enter the Ageia compo. In its current state I wouldn't use it in any other projects due to the requirement of drivers being installed for every user.

I've got it and used it a bit. It's quite cool, but you still need a good idea to make a good game with it. It does become another bottleneck if you used it though. I found the character controllers in Claymore Island made it crawl, so I went back to my own collision. Also I could never get a proper ragdoll to work, and I've never seen anyone actually make a single mesh ragdoll with proper joint limits.

I'd rather use my own collision engine (flawed, but who cares?) for the moment. My game's 2D anyway.


Since the other one was scaring you guys so much...

Exactly the reason I haven't bought it yet. As far as I've been able to tell, (and anyone who knows better is welcome to correct me), if the end user tries to run your program that used DP, they get directed to the Aegia website where they have to install physics drivers, before they can run it. It's bad enough that the end user needs to have dx9.0c - there's just too much faffing about.

Why not just include a link to the ageia drivers on your download page, or if you are distributing it on a disc, include it in the installer? Games usually have extras like that that need to be installed if you don't already have them, like Direct X.
