For many years we had only one choice if we needed a 2D physics library for our projects. This choice was called Box2D. It was versatile, quite easy to use, with many options and had many users, so getting support information was convenient. You could see this library being ported to JavaScript, Flash or even a C version used in Java and many more.

In part 1 of our Currency Calculator article series we have showed you what kind of application we will be creating using the angular.js framework. We have introduced the libraries needed to complete the Currency Calculator (fig. 1). We showed you from which API we will obtain the data.

Which is a typed superset of the JavaScript language and is supported by all browser engines.

Many times while developing games you probably wondered about the fastest way to implement pathfinding algorithms for the enemy AI system. You probably invented some of your own ways to seek out the fastest path or have implemented existing mathematical algorithms. This process was probably time consuming and you had to get through many obstacles in order to get the job done.
