I hadn't played with Breve (http://breve.sf.net) until recently. Some relevant features: 1) 3d with collision detection, and event callbacks on collisions. 2) Native code / C++ implementation 3) Several language options, including Python, Steve, Lisp, and Push. Push is a language intended for evolution of code (genetic programming). (overhead of these seem not to be an obstacle for the 3d models, which are bottlenecked on physics and 3d operations, much of that accelerated by GPU hardware by way of OpenGL) ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org
