Hello, I've just got your wrapper and I'm testing it out, nice work. I'm trying to modify the demos to have thin cylinders (like coins) but I'm having some problems, that I'm guessing is to do with ODE itself rather than the Blitz interface.

One, if I allow them to drop "straight", when two of them hit each other both of them seem to completely disappear. Why is this? If I put a bit of torque on them when they are created this doesn't happen. But when there is a pile of them, they seem to constantly squish up and down a bit oddly, is there a way to make them a bit "harder"? Finally, I tried to set AutoDisableFlag so they would disable, but it didn't seem to work - I tried turning off the bit of torque and it did start to work (but the disappearing problem returned). Even though they seemed to be lying flat, they would never disable, once I re-added the torque.

I'd really appreciate any help with this :P
