3D Theory - Games Generation Example

Here are some proposed nodes to exten x3d to allow physics animation.

As an example of how to use this for a games generator, here is a very simple 'asteroids type' game.

It starts off with a few large rocks moving about the screen, when the large rocks hit something then it splits into two medium objects, when the medium object hits something then it splits into two smaller objects. If something hits a small object then it just disappears.

If something hits the ship then the game ends.
