I thought ODE would do almost the same as sumo/solid? Maybe the physics
simulation is a bit different and has more features.

I though in a similar way. I guess BPY is not availbe in gameplayer, but
I have to investigate further. On msvc-windows the SND_* restructureing
seems to have been forgotten for gameplayer.

The bounding box values are not right I think, an ODE creates it's objects
from it. What to do for empty objects?

Hello out there. Has anybody tested the latest gameengine under windows?
Do the physics work?
