# SiMS2 #
SiMS2 is a 2D mechanics simulation library written in Scala.

It is a complete re-write of SiMS, hosted at http://sourceforge.net/projects/simplemechanics/.

# Features #
  * 2D rigid body simulation
  * standalone collision detection (can be used without SiMS2 physics library)
  * constraint simulation
  * extensible architecture

---

SiMS2 is currently in development and no stable release is available.
However, there exists a graphical testbed using the Processing.org library. To run it: 
  1. Checkout the latest project revision.
  2. If you don't already have it, install sbt (http://code.google.com/p/simple-build-tool/).
  3. In the sbt command prompt, run the command "demo".
  4. Navigation in the graphical demo: 
    * pause/unpause: `space`
    * single step: `enter`
    * previous/next test: `<`/`>`
    * zoom in/out: `page up`/`page down`;
    * move: `arrow keys`;
