Registed user can get files related to this applet for offline access. Please check out Rigid Body Collisions for 2D collision between rectangle shape objects. (If there is no friction force between the two objects) The vector perpendicular to the above components (green vectors) will not changed after collision. Two object move in the direction along the line connect between their center, with velocitys along this directions. Left circular object m1, right circular object m2 and center of mass for m1 and m2.Īt the moment when they collide, the force between the two circle objects is along the line which connect the center of the two objects. m 1, m 2 and CM are frame of reference with respect to You can select different frame of reference to view the relative motion of all the objects. Vi=relative velocity just before collision Press Reset button to reset parameters to default values.Įta is the coefficient of restitution eat Vf/Vi Vf=relative velocity just after collision Press the mouse button ( Do not release it) to see the velocity vectors just after the collision. When the two objects collide, the animation will be suspend. Right Click near the boundary of the circle to change it's size (also change it's mass, at the same time).Ĭlick near the center of the circle and drag the mouse to change its location.Ĭlick the mouse button again to resume the animation. Left/right to change its value (the initial velocity of that object).Ĭlick near the circular boundary and drag the mouse button to change its radius.
Now, you canĬlick near the tip of the velocity vector and drag the mouse button Two circular objects will move with pre-defined velocity (yellow arrow).Ĭlick left mouse button to suspend the animation.

Where t is just some value that moves you forwards and backwards along the line.Due to so many requests from the users, source code for this applet is distributed with the ZIP files you will receive if you click get file for offline use button. Then any position on the plane can be calculated via the equation: So to define a plane all you need is the normal vector of the plane and the distance C from the origin (which can be calculated by dot producting any point on the plane with the normal).Īlternatively in 2D, a plane is simply an infinite line, in which case you can define it with 2 vectors, one is any position along the line P, the other is the direction of the line D. What does this equation mean? (A,B) is the normal vector to the plane you are defining, and C is the distance from the origin along the normal vector to the position of the plane. Secondly, how do you define a plane in 2D space? Well there are many different ways that are valid, you can either define it using the 2D plane equation: So (x,y) is the original vector, and (-y,x) is the vector normal to it. Instead you want something simpler that calculates a normal vector to another vector.
Unfortunately I don't have any good links to vector tutorials relating to collision detection, but I wanted to comment on a few points you brought up.įirstly, if you are working on a 2D platformer you will not be needing the cross product which only exists in 3 dimensional space. rather than just stretches of flat ground at varying angles.
I'm hoping someone can point me in the direction of some tutorials which will help me get a better grasp on these concepts and also relate them back to collision detection.įor my game, I'm trying to create landscapes similar to what you would have seen in Sonic, curvy ground etc. I'm also having a difficult time relating what I know to the concepts being talked about in the tutorials I've read so far. but I'm obviously missing some important things, like defining a plane and obtaining the cross product. I've been going through Vector maths tutorials and I am able to do things like getting a unit vector, getting a unit normal vector etc. I'm fairly new to game development (but not to programming) and I've seemingly forgotten everything but algebra from my highschool maths days. I've started developing a 2d platformer and currently my collision system is based around axis-aligned rectangle bounds checking, which is working fine, however it's not enough for the purposes of this game.
