ODE FAQ
12.11. The Windows version of ODE crashes with large systems
ODE with dWorldStep requires stack space roughly on the order of O(n)+O(m2), where n is the number of bodies and m is the sum of all the joint constraint dimensions. If m is large, this can be a lot of space!
Unix-like operating systems typically allocate stack space as it is needed, with an upper limit that might be in the hundreds of Mb. Windows compilers normally allocate a much smaller stack. If you experience crashes when running large systems, try increasing the stack size. For example, the MS VC++ command line compiler accepts the /Stack:num flag to set the upper limit.
Another option is to switch to dWorldQuickStep.
THOUGHTS
I'm wondering if Blitz3d needs and option to set a larger stack size? As for the MAV or stack overflow at 657 objects I could probobly live with that limitation.
I just got ver 1.01 of the wrapper. Great to see changes made. I was surprised to see the source code is included! Providing the source code is icing on the cake, great buy for $12.00 US.
I have no doubt any remaining issues will be resolved. I'm off to test the bad boy out.
