Re: [pygame] The gsoc project physics engine, some issues?

[Peter Gebauer <peter.gebauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey all!

I wondered if the these two issues will be addressed?

1) The fact that heavy mass objects fall through static objects with low 
mass. Static objects should probably be treated like inf mass.
(it's as if they first hit water and then slowly sink through)

2) Locked joint rotation. There should be a way to make sure that joints
do not rotate.

3) Round shapes.

4) Callbacks. Is there any way to override the default behavior of a 
collision? It could be a simple Python method override where the method 
accepts the new body paramaters (velocities, etc).

5) Open polygon (i.e walls). A lot of 2D physics engines support walls, 
single, blocking lines in a sequence. It's not necessary, but sure would be 
nice to have an open polygon shape for collision testing.

An additional inquiry about collisions, is there a way to test for 
collisions without running the simulation? It would be very nice to have the 
collision code for shapes avaialable for use in games even without the 
physics simulation going on.

That's it for now. :)
