Can be possible the use of 2d physic in TMW?

about:

Phun is a Master of Science Thesis by Computing Science student Emil Ernerfeldt for supervisor Kenneth Bodin at VRLab, UmeÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¥ University, Sweden. The solver is based on work by Claude LacoursiÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¨re

Phun is meant to be a playground where people can be creative. It can also be used as an educational tool to learn about physics concepts such as restitution and friction.

Phun was coded in C++ using OpenGL, GLEW, SDL (for window management), SDL_image (for reading images) and boost, including boost_filesystem. Everything was coded by Emil Ernerfeldt, including the physics engine and user interface.

you can see movies of it in action in the PHUN homepage

An interesting application but unfortunately I don't see how it could have any use for TMW.

Although realistic physics as gameplay elements are fun to play with they don't really have a place in a massive multiplayer online game because of the huge amount of data which has to be synchronised between the clients in real-time.

The only thing you could really do is push enemies into other enemies/players ... But Crush said it best: That's alot of data to transmit.
