[ODE] Phi - pre announcement

[Daniel Monteiro Basso]

Hi all,

I've been working for almost a year on a robotics simulation framework
based on ODE, Lua, OpenGL and POVRay, and soon I'll release it under the
GPL. It is called 'Phi'.

For now you may see some videos I made with it, and the source code for
some of them. Currently the script only specifies the scene, you can't
control any object actively with Lua code alone.

This simulator is being used in two subprojects: my M.Sc. project (a
neural arquitecture for quadruped robot locomotion), and soccerServer (a
robot soccer simulator). In the above link you find videos of both.

Well, this is just a teaser... when I finish some documentation and make
a proper webpage, I'll make the official announcement. But any feedback
is already welcome ;)

Cheers,

Daniel
