In any case, you need to have some understanding how yade itself works:
what are engines and so on. Scene can be created in c++ or in Python (see
http://yade.wikia.com/wiki/SimpleSceneTutorial for comparison - that is
as simple as a scene can be: sphere falling on a box); there are still
some issues with python but for me it works reasonably well and I don't
write scenes in c++ since a few months at all.

In general, it is better if you are familiar with c++ since many things
are not documented and you have to read sources to find out how it works
exactly. If you want to develop a new constitutive law, you will have to
write it in c++.

Regards, Vaclav
