Some This group has already implemented rods, maybe we can just copy their algorithms? They seem to work pretty well. First paper is algorithm description, second paper validation.

More modern paper, which reduces contact detection of cylinders to 2D contact detection between sphere and ellipse, and sphere and line.

Old paper, which does not cover all cases. Source code is available though:

Force computation
Inertial moment computation
Ellipsoids (or maybe superquadrics?)
Contact detection
Option from Matuttis-Cheng book: write as generalised eigenvalue problem (this book advises against using ellipsoids)
...
Inertial moment computation
Mercury implementation
- Quaternions already exist, and are a part of every BaseInteractable
- We probably want to inherit from BaseParticle?
