[opensource-dev] Soft body physics

[Glen Canaday]

I came to the same conclusion, with the exception that a lookahead for a 
collision would be helpful in the client. If they use the same physics 
engine and the client does no more than implement a collision check, I 
think it could be a good thing. I'm looking at several free physics 
engines atm and thought I would clear my thinking up some. Collisions 
with soft bodies deform the collision mesh itself so yeah it gets a 
little tricky when you split them.
