If the ticker Plugin from SpockBot were ported to Rikerbot, how much of this would be appropriate to port from the SpockBot implementation of physics?

[nickelpro]

The SpockBot implementation is kinda a mess, and very slow even after considering its in pure Python. The timer/ticker plugins are trivial to write and I should have C++&Python versions of them in today. I was busy getting cpp-nbt fully unit tested because I never want to deal with a crap bug like #20 again.

The ground work for getting collision working is already here in the vec3.hpp and aabb.hpp, just getting the bot to fall to the ground won't be too hard. After that I think I intend to copy the behavior out of mineflayer, because understanding the MC physics code even with mappings is non-trivial.
