Something like that (not so smooth but something near):

could integrate Box2D, however you'd have to construct the joints in script and have some understanding of how Box2D works.

Someone correct me if I am wrong but I think Box2D is the way to go only because of its "joints". Not a Cheech and Chong reference. Joints are like elbows, knees etc. Perfect for piecing together tiny objects that in a large number would make up a rope.

Rennie, you're perfectly correct in saying this.

Chalk one up for the gipper.



Having said that tho @staff, how difficult would it be to install joints into the physics system currently used in iTorque? I do not how easy or difficult it would be but it certainly would be a handy feature to have.
