Comment on Do you like balls? by Thomas Leyland Torr

Thanks for the tutorial, I managed to get my billiards applet up to scratch because of it. I did have a little difficulty with the spacial partitioning to shorten the detection process… could you elaborate on that? I don’t know whether the block id should be a array of the ball object, or if the ball should be a child of a grid class or maybe I’m just talking rot…?

Phil, thanks for commenting. It seems to be a typo on my part.

It should be fixed now:

A.radius + B.radius

This is an old post, so I’m not sure if you still check for new comments or not, but I did have a question for when the distance between the 2 balls is 0. You had written that delta should equal A.radius + B.collider.radius.

What is this collider variable inside the ball class?

It’s pretty rudimentary. If two pointmasses are pushed apart far enough, then they rip. It’s not consistent across different timestep sizes, but it works.

Ryan, thanks for the comments! I haven’t seen them in the past few months because my host has been down. I’ll look into getting non-obtrusive social links up.

Oh, and please add some social media “like” buttons to your page. I know they might seem annoying, but make it as easy as you can for me to share your work with my friends.

I’m always a big fan of flocking algorithms, and I particularly like your implementation and write up. Well done. I implemented a few of Craig Reynold’s vehicle behaviors too (along with a few of my own) recently in one of my JS prototypes. Keep up the great work!

Very cool, Blue. I’ve made a few cloth-like verlet sims, myself, but I never made mine so they can be torn. I really think that the ability to tear the sheet adds a whole lot. I’m having a little bit of trouble understanding what it is that causes my mouse to tear the fabric, though. Is it just the speed of the mouse?
