Richard, Collision detection is the easier part. Just calculate the distance between centers and, if it is greater than the sum of the radii (assuming they are circular) you have a collision. The more difficult part is the physics, what happens after the collission. Are they of equal mass and

Re: Collisions

2012-03-25 Thread Jim Hurley
P.S. In the simplest case, equal masses, just interchange the velocities of the two balls after the collision. Proof: If one assumes that the solution is unique, and since interchanging the velocities conserves momentum and energy (for balls of equal mass), this solution is THE solution.

This works only if the balls hit head-on. Otherwise you need to do the trig. As a simple example, say there are two balls headed toward each other. Each has a radius of 2^.5. Ball A is moving at -2 units per second on the x axis, i.e. to the left, and its center has a Y coordinate of 2. Ball B is

Geoff, What happens when two ball of equal mass collide ellastically is an exchange in velocities. The velocity is a VECTOR. I think that is the source of misunderstanding. Your right there is trig involved. For example from Nine ball... function resetVel xx,yy,xx',yy',vxx,vyy,vxx',vyy'
