As I said: Modelling the rope completely inside the physics simulation (eg. a chain of connected nodes) can cause instabilities very fast. Less chain segments will increase stability, but then you need to smooth out your rope (eg. use a spline/bezier) or fake it completely. But give it a try, and you'll see. The easiest approach of course is to use an existing physics-engine... (eg. Box2D) | |

changed from "distance-joint" to "rope/spring-joint".
