Does anybody know of a good C# physics engine? Everything I've found has serious flaws:
Box2DX - Little to no documentation.
Box2DCS - Little to no documentation.
Farseer - XNA dependent.
It would be very helpful if anyone could point me to some other engine, or to some documentation for Box2DX or Box2DCS.
I guess not 2D but you might be able to figure something out:

Why is XNA dependency bad?
[QUOTE=aurum481;41788590]Why is XNA dependency bad?[/QUOTE]
Because I don't want to use XNA. Farseer uses Vector2, Vector3, Color, Matrix, Curve and a bunch of other XNA functionality. I would prefer something self contained.
According to [URL=http://farseerphysics.codeplex.com/discussions/389781]this[/URL], you should be able to use Farseer without XNA, as it includes its own version of the XNA types for standalone use.

[URL="http://jitter-physics.com/wordpress/"]Jitter Physics[/URL] is extremely easy to use, the examples should tell you how to get started but it has a ton of XML comments too.

Side note: for 3d, I've found [url=http://www.bepuphysics.com/]BEPUphysics[/url] is generally faster and more stable than Jitter. Also Jitter development stopped about a year ago.

Farseer doesn't need XNA to function. If you don't have XNA, Farseer provides the basic XNA types used in it.

This would be great indeed, but the only Farseer download I've found contains no such functionality. Does anybody have a link?
You need to download the "Farseer Physics Engine 3.3.1 Class" version.

Great, thanks! This looks quite perfect.
