[ODE] continuous collision detection

[Erin Catto]

You could achieve this by rejecting time steps that lead to large
penetrations. Then you would restore the previous state and take a smaller
time step. Of course, this can become expensive.

Subject: [ODE] continuous collision detection


ODE allows me to use either its builtin collision detection or an external 
one. Both cases assume that the collisions are detected after they 
actually happen. My question is: would it be possible to use some kind of 
continuous collision detection (which returns contact point, normal and 
time of collision, _before_ the bodies interpenetrate) with ODE?
