trueparticles and how to enable particle collisions 2004-05-23 - By Richard R. "Remnar"

I am not sure why you couldnt program this for physical simulations. Its
just a matter of creating a bounding box for each particle and checking
collisions for the bbox. It is that simple (i think). I am aware of that it
would take a beefy computer to even run a particle sim with such
calculations.
