[ODE] Soccer Ball Physics

[Gustavo Boni]

Thanks to reply Olex. =)

Actually, what i want to achieve is just a ball simulation with collision
with the players. However, kicking this ball this should bounce on the field
as the power of my kick. Basically is this. Will ODEprovide me this basic
behavior?

Thanks,

Gustavo
