[ODE] What can I do???!!! ODE Question...

you can create ODE objects like Boxes etc. for that and ODE will take care
of the hits (you register a callback procedure for collisions and at each
collision you pass on the collision info you get from ODE to a special joint
type of ODE that is used to handle collision response [you set up that joint
temporarily for the collision response when two body faces/vertexes
collide])

yep, that's the idea, you use forces instead of programmatic displacements
etc. cause with displacements it's very hard for the physics engine and all
the joint constraints to keep up
