Physics


Detailed Description

Classes to handle the physics simulation.

The physics simulation consists of three elements: bodies, geoms, and joints. A body encapsulates the dynamic properties of an entity, a geom encapsulates the kinematic properties, and joints connect bodies to each other.

A physics engine is used to calculate the properties of each body, geom, and joint. Currently, only the ODE physics engine is available.
