#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.

Why do prime numbers show up as diagonals in a spiral? In this video, I create a visualization in JavaScript (p5.js) of the Ulam Spiral (aka Prime Spiral) named for Polish Mathematician Stanislav Ulan.
