Line 21:

The '''Open Dynamics Engine''' ('''ODE''') is a [[physics engine]] written in C/C++. Its two main components are a [[rigid body dynamics]] simulation engine and a [[collision detection]] engine.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Open Dynamics Engine - Intel Threading Building Blocks [Book] |url=https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/intel-threading-building/9780596514808/ch11s14.html |access-date=2023-04-08 |website=www.oreilly.com |language=en}}</ref> It is [[free software]] licensed both under the [[BSD license]] and the [[LGPL]].

ODE was started in 2001 and has already been used in many applications and games, such as ''[[Assetto Corsa]]'', ''[[BloodRayne 2]]'', ''[[Call of Juarez]]'', ''[[S.T.A.L.K.E.R.]]'', ''[[Titan Quest]]'', ''[[World of Goo]]'', ''[[X-Moto]], [[Mad Tracks]]'' and ''[[OpenSimulator]]''.

Higher level environments that allow non-programmers access to ODE include [[Player Project]], [[Webots]], [[Opensimulator]], [[anyKode Marilou]] and [[CoppeliaSim]].
