Yes it certainly does, but there’s a bug in some versions of iOS Safari.

@Cedric and @RaananW for more information.

@Deltakosh @PirateJC This is incredible.

Do you happen to have or know of any comparison benchmarks or playgrounds (ammo + bjs vs havok + bjs)? There’s just so much to get caught up on here!

Really, really amazing work y’all.

on iOS we had to ship the NON-SIMD version (SIMD is simply not supported by ios in WASM)

We do!
