Physics Overview

Dill Pixel offers three physics plugins:

• Snap Physics: A lightweight, AABB and circle-based collision system inspired by Maddy Thorson’s TowerFall physics
• Crunch Physics: A robust, grid-based physics system optimized for platformers and endless runners with advanced entity management
• Matter Physics: A full-featured physics engine (using Matter.js) for complex physics simulations

Plugin Comparison

Feature	Snap Physics	Crunch Physics	Matter Physics
Best Use Cases	• Platformers & endless runners • AABB & circle collisions • Precise, deterministic movement	• Complex platformers • Grid-based collision detection • Entity groups & advanced sensors	• Physics-based puzzles • Complex body interactions • Realistic gravity & force simulations
Performance	Minimal overhead, deterministic	Optimized for large numbers of entities, grid-based	More resource-intensive, feature-rich
Complexity	Simple, straightforward API	Rich feature set, moderate learning curve	Advanced features, steeper learning curve

Caution

Only use one physics plugin at a time to avoid performance issues and potential conflicts.

Tip

For performance-critical projects: - Use Snap Physics for simple platformers and basic collision detection - Use Crunch Physics for more complex games with many entities and advanced features - Use Matter Physics when you need realistic physics simulation
