Description:

Basic physic system only working on rigid boxes.

This extension demonstrates how simple but powerful physics can be implemented using Verlet integration with fixed time step.

This system is based on solving length constraints so it's fairly easy to extend this in order to support all kinds of geometry models eg. spheres or complex structures.
