Yeah, what that said!
Haha, there seems to be very limited information about this in direct relation to MMF2 I was wondering if anyone knew of some tutorials or the such?
I was hoping to add physics to S#32

From what I've seen and played around with in the physics objects - if you've already got a game set up and a large portion of the game engine (especially objects like the player, who you want to interact with physical objects), you might as well just finish it without physics because the physics extensions will require a decent level of reconstruction of how your game works. The physics object needs to be tightly woven through your engine because it needs to be the one controlling how everything works in order to be able to accurately produce the physics. So even your whole level layout needs to be mapped out into the physics object.
Physics is a damn good way to get an impressive game going, but I think it's one of the few things on the sight whose ends don't justify the means but that could just be me.
As far as sources go, you can find them in the Multimedia Fusion 2 examples folder. Usually when you install complicated extensions, the developer adds examples into that folder. You just need to find the extensions folder within the examples folder and you'll find some commented MFA files.

Hehe, well, I'd already looked at those resources directly after I downloaded the extension, of course
I was hoping there was some sort of reference site with specific mechanics and stuff. All good, I think i'm going to leave physics out of S#32, or perhaps put together some 'fake' physics for the few things that require it. I did get a little demo going with everything running reasonably smoothly, but things didn't feel right and I didn't enjoy playing the game as much, so. 
Thanks for your help though
