That sounds good.
Such gear simulation might be useful for others. Could you make a contribution, for example the new rack-pinion constraint and a very simple demo?
I have no idea how to code for bullet, how to install the development environment... but if I can get my hands on the source, I might be able to compute the gear constraint, using the computation of the other bullet constraints as models... I might need the help of somebody to implement and test the gear constraint class...
to do a really goodjob, the gear constraint should be time-dependent, so we can simulate gears engaging in each other, like in a operated car gear box... spining speed of two engaged pinions might be different at the initial instant. so far, my gear constraint works only if the constraint is already achieved at the initial time of the integration. but of course, the simple case first!
Hi! i am trying to compile the appSliderConstraintDemo with visual c++ 2005 express edition. I have installed the win32 SDK, it's ok, but I get linking errors relative to bullet :

It must be a setting problem. Please any ideas? I need it to work to code the gear constraints! Thanx in advance
