RE: [Algorithms] Constant-rate physics. was: runge Kutta

I'll second that.  Back in the days of yore, the only reason I tied to the 
framerate was the lack of horsepower to do anything else (physics for 
BattleSphere were all in assembler, midpoint integration, 24 MHz RISC with 
4K total RAM to integrate 256 objects at 30-60 fps).  That hasn't been a 
problem since my first P3-500.  I feel downright spoiled these days, but I 
have a whole new generation of peeves.
