How is Box2D (widely used open-source 2D physics engine for games) correctly pronounced?
Box2D is pronounced 'BOKS-too-DEE' — 'box' exactly like the everyday word, plus 'two-D'. In a technical interview: "Box2D handled every collision between the falling crates realistically, without us writing a single line of physics math."

How is Bullet (open-source 3D physics engine used in many games and films) correctly pronounced?
Bullet (the physics engine) is pronounced 'BUL-it' — exactly like the everyday word for a piece of ammunition. In a technical interview: "Bullet simulated the rope's soft-body physics smoothly, even with dozens of segments swinging at once."
3 / 5
How is PhysX (NVIDIA's real-time physics engine widely used in games) correctly pronounced?
PhysX is pronounced 'FIZ-eks' — 'phys' (from physics) plus the letter 'X'. In a technical interview: "PhysX offloaded the cloth simulation onto the GPU, which freed up the CPU for game logic."
4 / 5
How is Havok (commercial physics engine widely used in AAA video games) correctly pronounced?
Havok (the physics engine) is pronounced 'HAV-uk' — exactly like the everyday word for widespread chaos. In a technical interview: "Havok kept the destructible building's debris falling realistically, frame after frame, without the simulation blowing up."

How is Chipmunk2D (lightweight, open-source 2D physics engine written in C) correctly pronounced?
Chipmunk2D is pronounced 'CHIP-muhngk-too-DEE' — 'chipmunk' exactly like the everyday animal, plus 'two-D'. In a technical interview: "Chipmunk2D ran the whole platformer's physics smoothly, even on the underpowered handheld we were targeting."
