## What it is
Newton Dynamics is a real-time physics simulation engine for rigid body dynamics in games and interactive applications. This specific repository is discontinued; development has moved to the JulioJerez/newton-dynamics repository.

## Use cases
- simulate rigid body physics in a game
- real-time physics engine for 3d applications
- integrate physics simulation into a game engine
- collision and dynamics simulation library

## When to choose
- you need a mature open-source rigid body physics engine and are okay using the successor repository
- you want an integrated real-time dynamics solution for games or simulations

## When to avoid
- you want an actively maintained project - use the new official repository at JulioJerez/newton-dynamics instead
- you need soft-body or fluid simulation out of the box

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: simulation, game-engine, graphics
- domain: simulation, graphics
- platform: cpp, cross-platform, windows
- tags: physics-engine, rigid-body-dynamics, real-time-simulation, discontinued, moved-repository, game-development, linux, macos
