Giving Credit Where Credit Is Due

First off, I must thank Russ Smith for his Open Dynamics Engine (ODE). The mathematics behind the simulations you see are pretty intense, and without his library I would probably still be struggling with inertial tensors and axis-aligned bounding boxes.

Thanks to the many people behind OpenGL, for providing a 3D rendering library with a nice clean API.

Thanks to Pierre Terdiman, who put up with the first couple of badly broken versions, missing DLLs, and the like.

Thanks to Matt Austern, author of "What Are Allocators Good For?" published in the C/C++ user's journal and also available online. Here's something else allocators are good for: managing memory in a Windows process that has a separate heap for each DLL.
