I am poking my stick at ODE trying to figure it all out. I managed to get a bouncy box...bouncing =/. Half the code to do this stuff I am just typing blindly since I have no idea what I am doing, but thats what SDK's are for right?
Next i am going to figure out how to make the box the "car" and ram it into some planes repeatedly.
The professional coder reading this: screw you. We all feel stupid trying to make a box into a car the first time around. Lol.
screenshot of the box bouncing...astounding.
