Hi,

is there any plan at all to update physics to match box2D.
for example,Rope Joint was implemented in box2D almost 8 months back and still I can't find in Corona.
Even in daily builds, apart fro bug fixes I can't find any new implementations for Physics engine.

is this Corona SDK only for 14yr olds or any plan for supporting professional games?

Would really appreciate seeing rope joint in corona. Really difficult to build a usable rope like game object without it...

Carlos has said that he's put it on the to-do for engineering, so the team is aware of it, but I don't think there's an eta just yet. They have added some physics stuff recently (notably the option for time-based), but hopefully this will happen soon as it's a fairly outdated version by now, as you mention.

I'll be extremely happy if that 'near' is something like 6 months
