* Even slightlier more stablier

* VV your heart out

* Initial joint support

* 90% of joints I just wanted to push as I'd scream if I lost progress

* JOINT PURGATORY

* Joints barely functional lmao

* Okay these joints slightly more functional

* Remove station FrictionJoint

* Also that

* Some Box2D ports

* Cleanup mass

* Fix wall clips

* Config caching for island

* allocations optimisations

* Optimise casts

* Optimise events queue for physics

* Contact manager optimisations

* Optimise controllers

* Sloth joint or something idk

* Controller graph

* Remove content cvar

* Random cleanup

* Finally remove VirtualController

* Manifold structs again

* Optimise this absolute retardation

* Optimise

* fix license

* Cleanup physics interface

* AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

* Fix collisions again

* snivybus

* Fix potential nasty manifold bug

* Tests go snivy

* Disable prediction for now

* Spans

* Fix ShapeTypes

* fixes

* ch ch changeesss

* Kinematic idea

* Prevent static bodies from waking

* Pass WorldAABB to MoveEvent

* Fix collisions

* manifold structs fucking WOOORRKKKINNGGG

* Better pushing

* Fix merge ickies

* Optimise MoveEvents

* Use event for collisions performance

* Fix content tests

* Do not research tests

* Fix most conflicts

* Paul's trying to kill me

* Maybe collisions work idk

* Make us whole again

* Smug is also trying to kill me

* nani

* shitty collisions

* Settling

* Do not research collisions

* SHIP IT

* Fix joints

* PVS moment

* Fix other assert

* Fix locker collisions

* serializable sleeptime

* Aether2D contacts
