About

APE (Actionscript Physics Engine) is written in AS3 and is designed for use in Flash or Flex games and applications.

Overview

APE is a 2D physics engine written in Actionscript 3 for use in Flash and Flex.

You can simulate 2D dynamics by using particles and connecting them with constraints to create more complex shapes. The engine currently has 3 different kinds of particle classes - the CircleParticle, RectangleParticle, and WheelParticle, and one type of constraint - the SpringConstraint.
