[ODE] ODE collision qustion

[Ivan Bolcina]

Hi.

I don't understand ODE collision mechanism in detail, but from posts i 
figure out, that if
there are N primitives, we had to implement N*N/2 colision algorithms.

So this doesn't seem right. No wonder there are so many posts on this 
topics.
What will happen when there will be 12 primitives  and someone will add 
another. Nightmare.

Can not there be an universal algorithm as for example "Beziere curved 
mesh" colision. You could describe box, mesh,sphere,capped cylinder with 
it. And maybe convertion function for each primitive..So you reduce 
number of algorithms from N*N/2 to N+1.
