Implementing BoardPoly

• JBox2d does not support concave polygon collision detection. One needs to break down the concave polygon into multiple convex ones to overcome this issue. A reference with source code is available here. Another reference is available here.
• Complete integrating JBox2d code into BoardPoly. To specify a polygonal obstacle, one needs to give the vertices in clockwise order. An example can be found in the TestClass.java in the source code here.

A better Java Physics engine: http://www.jbox2d.org/
This provides methods to directly apply an impulse to an object.
It also has built-in support for polygon.

Manual: http://www.box2d.org/manual.html
Code doing physics with JBox2d (SkateBoarder's Impulse method also done): http://www.rpi.edu/~laut/TeamA2Code_0606.zip
TO DO: Implement BoardPoly
