Re: [Algorithms] Snowboarding Physics

[Dennis G. <de...@me...>]

Hi Pat,

I think plain rigid body simulation with anisotropic friction should be 
a good starting point. For collision detection I would suggest some kind 
of "airbag" under the board to avoid discontinuities in contact 
criteria. Raycast vehicle-style, as you mentioned, but I don't think you 
need the actual vehicle simulation.

  Regards,
  Dennis
