SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Bevy Avian provides a cohesive bridge to the Avian physics engine, enabling Bevy developers to implement robust physics interactions without bespoke wiring.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Rigid bodies: dynamic, kinematic, and static bodies for realistic motion.
  • Colliders & joints: shapes and joints to construct complex mechanical systems.
  • Collision events & queries: detect interactions and respond to them in gameplay.
  • Debug rendering: built-in visuals to diagnose physics behavior during development.
  • Use cases: prototyping physics-driven gameplay, simulating environments, and building educational demos.

Quick Start

Initialize Avian within a Bevy app, add a Dynamic body with a collider, and observe motion in the scene.
