These engines compute rigid body dynamics, collision detection, and constraint solving — the mathematical backbone that makes virtual objects behave like real ones. This article compares three leading open-source physics engines: <strong>Bullet3</strong>, <strong>Box2D</strong>, and <strong>Jolt Physics</strong>.</p>
