Future Benchmarks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Future benchmarks will address more intuitive physics conceptual blocks. Here
are some projected blocks.

Further blocks will be developped on more complex or non-rigid objects like
strings, membranes, fluids and gasses, or articulated objects. Another direction
is to use simple objects but more complex dynamics, like self-propelled objects,
agents, etc.
