Rotational Goodness

Tonight I finally finished rotational physics. Quaternions, angular momentum, and impulse calculations all cross-producted together to bring you full rotational, translational goodness. Basically, objects now cause each other to spin if struck appropriately. In the picture the central sphere starts out moving to the right. The outlined actions naturally follow.

If you feel so inclinded, you can download it and watch or even move the objects around and add new ones.
