Height may be a factor as well (and something we'll need to address),
but the resolution issue can be seen clearly (at least with basic
physics), but walking on a side hill and seeing the step function
involved.  Based on what I've seen of the code, I think that real
physics engines will run into the same issues.

There is no silver bullet.  Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
than zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
