[ODE] bouncing back after collision with wall

[Jon Watte]

Enable the Bounce parameter of the contact geom when 
creating the contact joints.

Note that the reason ball<->ball collisions "bounce" 
is the symmetry between the forces resolving the 
contacts.

Cheers,

Subject: [ODE] bouncing back after collision with wall


Hi,

I have created a simple world in which I have a few
walls and I'm having spheres bounce around.
When the sphere hit each other, they show visually
correct physics but when they hit the wall, it's as if
they lose all their kinetic energy, so they don't
bounce back.

The walls are just "geom", so they are part of the
ODE's space. They don't move in other words.

Did I make a mistake somewhere in my code? I will
provide the source if that helps.
