Hi there,
anonye has some links / examples / pdf's about physics solvers? How to apply contact points to change object angular and linear velocities?
I'd be thankfull for any help.

Well I wrote some articles on simple impulse resolution. For more advanced constraint solving everyone will refer you to Erin Catto's work.

Another source for this is Hecker's old articles: http://chrishecker.com/images/e/e7/Gdmphys3.pdf

The first one sums up most of the research conducted in the past ~20 years.
The second paper goes over the advantages/disadvantages of most of the methods/physics solvers that are used to solve the equations.

I wrote a no-math explanation on my blog a few years ago, in case you (like myself) are a visual thinker and not mathematician:

It is surprisingly simple once you understand it.
