Detailed Description

A factory for a RWPECollisionSolver. This factory also defines an ExtensionPoint.

By default the factory provides the following RWPECollisionSolver types:

• None (Throws exception if a collision occur)
• Single (Solver for one or more collisions between a single pair of bodies) - RWPECollisionSolverSingle
• Chain (Sequential solver that applies the single solver iteratively) - RWPECollisionSolverChain
• Simultaneous (Solver for simultaneous handling) - RWPECollisionSolverSimultaneous
• Hybrid (A hybrid between sequential and simultaneous handling that applies the simultaneous solver iteratively) - RWPECollisionSolverHybrid

A good introduction to different collision handling methods can be found at: http://www.myphysicslab.com/Collision-methods.html
