I'm trying to make a box that I can bounce balls around in, but it =
wasn't working so I tried
altering an example file.  I tried to add walls to test_boxstack to =
contain the objects when they fall.
But now they're slipping and sliding all over the place- they don't even =
touch the ground.
Here are the planes I added:


dCreatePlane (space,0,-1,0,100);

dCreatePlane (space,0,1,0,100);

dCreatePlane (space,1,0,0,100);

dCreatePlane (space,-1,0,0,100);



Should this not make four walls, each 100 units away from the origin?

Somehow, I'm defining them incorrectly - please help, even if it seems =
trivial.

I can't seem to make it work.  What is the correct way to define a =
plane?



Thanks!

p.s. I think I solved my dissapearing sphere problem from yesterday.  I =
took the source files and rebuilt itfrom within my vc++ project and

it workds great.  I think it was incompatible (or at least different) c =
runtime libraries.
