jit.phys unstable cubes
Feb 11 2013 | 6:39 pm
Hello,
I encounter some problems with jit.phys objects with cube shape: they tend to be unstable (in position). In the example below, towers of cube are falling down without any particular event. Within Box2D, boxes towers are stable. It's also ok if shape=sphere.
Is there a way (or a trick) to have the expected behavior with jit.phys cubes?
Thanks,
Jean-Michel
