alt Hacker NewsI'm interested in knowing how the physics are realized here.
I've been working on a golf game to play with my friends and the first hurdle I had to go through was the fact that you can't just slap an off-the-shelf physics engine on it and call it a day, because over certain velocities the ball will tunnel through the walls.

Tons of physics engines (including jolt mentioned by op) have some variation of continuous collision detection that should prevent such tunneling effects. At this point it seems more rare to not have CCD at all.
I started writing my own physics system a while back, and in January of this year started working on some tests befre realziing I was never going to get acceptable phyics on my own. In August I started using Jolt and it seems to work. So to answer your question, I am using Jolt for the physics now.
