Hi, I was wondering if there was a simple AS2 physics engine around for a small game. Mostly I need it for weapon interaction with objections to send them flying, but I am willing to try make my own if someone could point me in the right direction if there is no better alternative!

Thanks. 👼

I like to use [Box2D flash](http://box2dflash.sourceforge.net/) for my physics needs. But that’s in AS3, and takes a bit to learn. But it’s worth it because it’s very powerful.

Anyways. I would not recommend you do any game with complex physics in AS2. That’s a recipe for messiness and poorly handling physics. It really is worth learning AS3 for this kind of more complex stuff.

Ok, hopefully I will try learn AS3 soon. Thanks.
