#184 — Elastic Collisions

What happens when two circles collide in a p5.js canvas? In this video, I examine the math and implement idealized elastic collisions in a JavaScript physics simulation. This video supplements the Nature of Code book series in Chapter 6 which uses 3rd party physics libraries to handle collisions rather than a direct implementation.

In this two part challenge, I cover beginShape(), endShape(), and texture(), TRIANGLE_STRIP, QUAD_STRIP, and more. I combine these geometry functions with the Toxiclibs physics library to simulate a waving flag (with a unikitty image texture!)

Texturing Cloth Simulation

Boing! Using some particles and some springs with the Toxiclibs physics library, I create a 3D cloth simulation in Processing. Toxiclibs can now be downloaded from Processing's library manager.
