Jolt Physics: physics engine from Horizon Forbidden West open-sourced

Very surprising release. And very high quality codebase as well.

Deliberately accounting for streaming is nice.

Couldn’t help but laugh at the accursed “ support double precision ” github issue that plagues everything.

Too bad platform support is worse than e.g. PhysX. I would have used it otherwise.

The unrooted include directives are a name collision nightmare. I did not appreciate that one bit, even if it’s a simple find-and-replace-all to transform every #include < into #include <Jolt/ then fix up the std-lib includes. You really think there’s not going to be a <Math/float4.h> in my paths to conflict with?

The library itself compiled nice and easy though I guess.
