Well... its demo is way cooler, for one. =)

Seriously, I'm having way too much fun swinging this ball around and smashing things. Package it up for $0.99 IMO.

I open sourced my "toy" version of JavaScript physics engine just few days ago too. It's not really for serious work, but may be (hopefully) simple and good enough for beginning programmers to learn one way of starting such a project. https://github.com/fuzzthink/SPE.js

In the project, it says box2d-js.sf isn't being updated anymore. Would've been nice to take over the older project so people who were using that one would know there was renewed interest in maintaining this code.

The performance of the demo is awesome. Has anyone tried to do anything more complicated and tested performance. Would be fun to make a js game from this.

Very nice, but where is this alleged AS3 to JavaScript converter? That sounds quite useful!

TBH it's a small demo - I've heard while JS engines these days are fast, they still struggle with complex physics simulations. I can't see any performance details/improvements noted in this release - anyone got figures?
