Re: [Edu-sig] Python Physics Sandbox released

Version 1.4 has been released and is available for the standard pip install. Constant velocity was added, along with fixing the bug with shape specific gravity. Jay On Wed, Dec 28, 2016 at 2:13 PM, Jay Shaffstall wrote: > >How do I give the ball a horizontal velocity? >

>How do I give the ball a horizontal velocity? The 1.4 development branch on github now has the ability to set a constant velocity for a shape. For example, to move it horizontally right you could use: ball1.velocity = (50, 0) I won't be releasing 1.4 to PyPi until I've tracked down a bug

Thanks for doing all this. I mentioned this thread to a physics listserv frequented by those looking in to effectively teaching same [1]. Your project is geared to students learning to code, which could include future physics engine designers. Great way to get one's feet wet, not just using the

Re: [Edu-sig] Python Physics Sandbox released

Hi Eric, Glad the sandbox is working for you! You've got a couple of options for giving the ball a horizontal velocity, depending on what effect you want. If you want an instantaneous horizontal kick, but after that the ball responds normally to gravity, use b1.hit and set the y part of the
