Thomas, which format were the files that PLIB didn't read? Do you want
to send one to me?

You have to recursively walk the scene graph that the loaders returns
to you.

You can calculate the normal "n" of the wall by using the vector
product ("Kreuzprodukt" in German) of the edges of the polygon.
If v is the old velocity, calculate a scalar factor "f" by doing
v*n / n*n. The new velocity is then v+f*n. f is calculated so that=20
v+f*n is perpendicular to n.

Bye bye,
