Croquet "players",
If the you are still looking for a physics engine for Croquet this one might
meet your needs:
Open Dynamics Engine
http://q12.org/ode/ode.html
"ODE is a free, industrial quality library for simulating articulated rigid
body dynamics - for example ground vehicles, legged creatures, and moving
objects in VR environments. It is fast, flexible, robust and platform
independent, with advanced joints, contact with friction, and built-in
collision detection."
ODE is the Blender Foundations first choice among physics engines for Blender.

Blender Conference 2002 proceedings
http://www.blender.org/modules/bc2002/index.html
("Blender is the first and only fully integrated 3D creation suite allowing
modeling, animation, rendering, post-production, interactive creation and
playback with cross-platform compatibility - all in one tidy, easily
downloadable package. Now Blender is Open Source.")

Also,
Are there any plans to add Open CYC - Common Sense Engine capabilities to
Croquet?
http://www.opencyc.org/
I imagine such capabilities would be a boon for the educational side of your
goals for Croquet.
Cheers,
Darius
