    Of course it is. while( !game_over ) { acc = force_from_environment() + force_from_player_input(); pos = pos + vel * timestep; vel = vel + acc * timestep; } yn+1 = yn + hy'n y'n+1 = y'n + hf(x,y,y') Those are the exact same thing.

    [IC] Vaults of Vaarn

    Max takes a moment to look at the emitter-encrusted panel. After gazing at if for a few moments he looks thoughtful and- unusually for synth- distracted, as he wanders off to peek down the left-hand corridor. If there's nothing that needs immediate attention he will join Michael and Pharmon's...
