  2. -------------------------------------------------------------------------
  3. ODE is a free, industrial quality library for simulating articulated
  4. rigid body dynamics - for example ground vehicles, legged creatures,
  5. and moving objects in VR environments. It is fast, flexible, robust
  6. and platform independent, with advanced joints, contact with friction,
  7. and built-in collision detection.
