Picophysics is a minimal, single-file physics library created for developing games on platforms with severe hardware limitations such as the Nintendo 64, PlayStation, and Dreamcast. Hosted on GitLab, it provides essential physics capabilities while maintaining a very small footprint suitable for these older systems. The project focuses on performance and simplicity for developers targeting retro or constrained gaming environments.
