In order to solve this problem, we use an algorithm similar to Bresenham's line algorithm, which had been implemented in Bullet by Zylann , a Godot contributor who is also behind the Godot Heightmap Terrain plugin. When Godot Physics reaches a state where it's stable and reliable enough to be used as the default engine in 4.0,
