Does Box2d work on Xbox?

Question

I'm developing a game in XNA. It would be nice for it to be compatible with Xbox. Does Box2d work on Xbox? Is there some way to include any third party libraries I use?

There is a port called Box2dx which works on the Xbox. Read up on this discussion for some interesting performance aspects of the library.

That thread looks informative. Thanks! I hope I don't run into any issues like that, though. – Nick Heiner Mar 14 '10 at 02:04
Hopefully, others have integrated those perf improvements into the library. Good luck! – Peter Lillevold Mar 14 '10 at 02:05

The Farseer Physics Engine is built on a port of Box2D and contains several features not included in the Box2D core including:

Continuous collision detection (with time of impact solver)
Contact callbacks: begin, end, pre-solve, post-solve
Convex polyons and circles.
Multiple shapes per body
Dynamic tree broadphase
Fast broadphase AABB queries
Collision groups and categories
Sleep management
Contact, friction, and restitution
Stable stacking with a linear-time solver
Revolute, prismatic, distance, pulley, gear, mouse joint, and other joint types
Joint limits, motors, and friction
Controllers (gravity, force generators)
Tools to decompose concave polygons, find convex hulls, boolean operations and more.
