Introduction
The Farseer Physics Engine is an easy to use 2D physics engine designed for Microsoft’s XNA and Silverlight platforms. The Farseer Physics Engine focuses on simplicity, useful features, and enabling the creation of fun, dynamic games.
The Team
Jeff Weber
Jeff is the originator of the Farseer Physics Engine project and is currently using it to make games. His games and blog can be found at Physics Powered Games
Ian Qvist
Ian has taken over management of the Farseer Physics Engine. He is pretty much running the show now.
Matt Bettcher
Matt assists in development of Farseer Physics Engine features and helps create samples and demos for the documentation.
