The !PhysicsEngine is the core of orxonox's Physically based animations.
It is like all other modules self sustainded, and one can easily add numerous objects to it

== extensions ==
  * __PhysicsInterface__:
     this is a class, that when extended automatically assumes, that a certain object is Physically animatable. This means, one just have to do in the declaration:
{{{
class CoolAnt : public WorldEntity : public PhysicsInterface
 { ..... };
}}}
    and it is handled by the !PhysicsEngine.
  * __CollisionDetection__ (still in development)
     with this module one can easily make any !PhysicsInterface collide with any other !PhysicsInterface
  * __Fields__:
    Fields operate on !PhysicsInterface's, and as such are the generating forces that generate Physical Interactions.
    They can be coppled with any !PhysicsInterface through the !PhysicsConnection class
{{{
Field* field = new Gravity();
new PhysicsConnection (coolAnt, field);
}}}
    again, this is from this moment on handled by the !PhysicsEngine, and one does not have to care about this connection anymore.
