We do have a brach in APE code which support angular velocity for RectangleParticles - http://ape.googlecode.com/svn/branches/rigidape/ But the problem with code is that while the particles have to settle on the Floor, they will have some jitter effect, which is not quite smooth behavior. I tried this branch for this same example, the angular rotation is very smooth but while the particles have to settle down, they will have some jittery motion. Thats a bit disturbing ... Kormak,

If you want a "tumbling" object you need to use a spring constraint group as in these examples http://www.garrahan.org/ape/?p=4 and http://www.garrahan.org/ape/?p=6 Rectangle particles do not rotate.
