[ODE] handling player collision with static and dynamic objects separately

[Ronnie Joseph]

hi,
    Thanks for the reply,i tried checking if the player box has collided 
with a dynamic object
and then using ode to find the contact points, but i dun know what to do 
with the
contact points . how much force should i apply to push the objects apart and 
in what direction.
handling player physics this way seem more difficult.

thanks.
