Soft body physics

Add to the Useful code patterns and techniques section.

Methods for simulating the motion and behaviors of deformable ("soft") bodies.

Common technique is to use a spring-mass system - a network of points connected with edges that act as springs. Adjusting the mass of the points or the physical properties of the spring produces different effects, as does changing which points are connected to others.
