Hi there.

Not in development, according to my knowledge - and I'm relatively sure I would know about this!

Werband still didn't release updated version of Box2D (3rd one?) for PC. And looki is separately developing Flash version so my bet is no.

[iamjot]

Oh no. I´m sorry to hear that. It would be a killer feature.
Thx for your pretty clear answers my friends! Box2d is pretty much in every flash game i am currently making. It just works too good (thx looki!). So I just thought it would be great for iphones too.

Oh bummer. I thought it was being worked on. I would love box 2d for iPhone too.

You could hire someone to make it, pool some monies or something.
I don't do Objective-C, I have objections to it. yuk yuk yuk...
You could ask Keith

Hmm well i would def. pay something. I just dont know how long it would take = how much it would be. I have absolutely NO idea how much work it is to port box2d for the ios exporter (i actually thought it´s not that big step from flash to ios, but i guess it is)

First step: find a link to the Objective-C port of Box2D and post it here. An extension developer would be more likely to take on the task if it was already partly done.
(Note that Box2D is a programming library that was converted into an extension for MMF2 - chances are that the library has already been ported to iOS and now the extension is all that is left)

I have found a couple of tutorials (only for coding):

This could be an interesting link i guess (but i can only repeat - i dont know much about extension dev. etc):

is it not possible to make box2d for ios exporter. i think many people would pay a lot of money to have this extension. the most popular games on appstore are physik games. with box2d, MMF 2 would be awesome. i would pay the same for box2d, as i paid for MMF2 dev.
