Abstract
A method has steps tracking states for objects in a virtual world by software (SW) executed by a processor from a non-transitory physical medium, noting that physics simulation is necessary to determine a change in display for a particular object, noting characteristics of the particular object, selecting from a plurality of modules, a specific physics simulation module optimized for objects having the characteristics of the particular object, and applying the physics simulation module selected to determine display change for the particular object.
