I would like to announce the release of Thyrix - a fast 
agent/environment simulator designed for research in artificial life or 
embodied artificial intelligence, especially for evolutionary experiments.

Features:
- C++ code;
- Object primitives: circles, capped rectangles, borders (semi-planes);
- Composite objects, elastic links, articulated agents;
- Contact detection and resolution;
- 2-dimensional space;
- Quasi-static dynamics;
- Visual sensors;
- Tactile sensors integrated with contact detection;
