Nice!  I actually hadn't seen this before.  I'm looking forward to
seeing the rest.

Whenever a few issues are fixed up, I'll hopefully be able to publish
my code for a set of physics examples & a couple of simple games.

Although, I probably could port over my SDL Tetris clone to FieldTrip
+ Reactive already as it doesn't need any diff eq's.
