[ODE] Raycast Car Physics (demo)

[Jon Watte (ODE)]

I put together a simple demo of a car that's based on a box and four 
ray-casts (rather than Hinge2). This gives pretty good "arcade-like" 
physics. You can find the demo (Windows executable) and the source (zip 
file) at:

http://www.mindcontrol.org/~hplus/raycar/

This car uses the contact joint for steering, driving, and handling 
(using contact movement, and the fdir parameter).

This time, the source is fully compilable as-is, if you have the 
December 2005 DirectX SDK installed. Carworld required too much thinking 
on the part of the user, which apparently was a big impediment. Live and 
learn.

Cheers,
