Made a tilt, I saved some links on physics simulation engines, in case I 
wanted to program a game someday :-)

HyperMatter: 
http://www.hypermatter.demon.co.uk/html/HyperMatter/hypermatter.htm
Seem to be available in DLL form only, so of little use for POV-Ray, unless 
writing external programs generating POV-Ray scenes.

Particle System API: http://www.cs.unc.edu/~davemc/Particle/
Comes with source. Perhaps you can find some ideas.

Open Dynamics Engine: http://www.q12.org/ode/ode.html
It has quite a good reputation in game industry. Comes with sources.

OPCODE (Optimized Collision Detection): 
http://www.codercorner.com/Opcode.htm
Probably out of topic, but it may be useful to somebody :-)

I hope it helps.
