All of the polygons are composed of triangles, and so when they are created they are triangulated (via the ear clipping algorithm). When I want to break a polygon, each of the triangles become a separate polygon, and those get recursively subdivided into smaller triangles until an arbitrary depth is reached, which was just 1 for this demo, but if you want you can have it it subdivide much deeper and get a lot more triangles.

I used the command prompt to output debugging information but SDL didn't output directly to the console, and so I recompiled SDL so that it output to the console. Unfortunately I didn't have the time to recompile the source for Prysx with the original library and so the console shows.
