For 2D:
Raycast CCD now works the same as in 3D, it changes the body's velocity
to place it at the impact position instead of generating a contact point
that causes a wrong push back.
For both 2D and 3D:
The raycast CCD process reads and modifies body velocities, so it needs
to be moved to pre_solve() instead of setup() to be processed linearly
on the main thread, otherwise multithreading can cause some CCD results
to be randomly lost when multiple collisions occur.
Clarified space parameters for contacts and added missing ones.
List of changes:
-Add contact bias to space parameters
-Add solver iterations to space parameters, instead of a specific
physics server function
-Renamed BODY_MAX_ALLOWED_PENETRATION to CONTACT_MAX_ALLOWED_PENETRATION
to make it consistent with other contact parameters
Changed the algorithm for solving contacts to keep previous contacts as
long as they are under the max separation threshold to keep contact
impulses more consistent and contacts more stable.
Also made 2D consistent with 3D and changed some default parameters:
-Contact bias is now 0.8 instead of 0.3 to avoid springy contacts
-Solver iterations are 16 instead of 8 by default for better stability
Performance considerations:
Tested with stress tests that include lots of contacts from overlapping
bodies.
3D: There's no measurable difference in performance.
2D: Performance is a bit lower (close to 10% slower in extreme cases)
The benefit for 2D physics to be much more stable outweighs the slight
decrease in performance, and this could be alleviated by changing the
algorithm to use jacobians for contact solving to help with cache
efficiency and memory allocations.
Bounce calculation now uses the previous frame's velocity, so it's
consistent with the actual motion of the bodies involved and not the
yet-to-be-applied forces.
When bounce is 1, using the current velocity was causing the new forces
(including gravity) to be taken into account, which lead to the bounce
velocity to be higher than the falling velocity at the moment of impact,
adding more and more energy over time.
