very nice.  (and yes, (many) questions :-) like Leroy's, was it rendered on the
phone ?)

I found the attached 2003 code by Alain Ducharme in TdG's (extensive) archives,
a "Povray rigid ball dynamics simulator", not quite "bullet physics" but...  all
in SDL, no other languages needed; I'm sure that there will be other code, 30+
years is a long time.  there is no explicit mention of licensing, but the author
writes "in the meantime, you may wish to collapse the required macros into your
main SimBall .pov files" -- sounds "permissive".  two (quickly rendered :-))
