David Easton 12 Sept 2003 - The saga continues: first Bouncing Balls, then Colliding Balls, then Colliding Coins and now Colliding Spheres.
This merges Colliding Coins by Leszek Holenderski (based on Colliding Balls by David Easton) with Spheres from Ulis.
Note: The spheres still have a mass proportional to area because the small spheres were found to travel very fast with mass proportional to volume.
MPJ ~ I likes this on the desktop so I decided to try it out on my PocketPC. I changed the maxsize and numbers and scaled the screen to full size. Below is a screen shot of the results and my updates for the PocketPC [L1 ] . (Note: that that some of the sphere images are messed up this is a problem with the current port to the PocketPC)
This is cool. I think it should be part of the tk widget demo to show how interesting animations can be done with the canvas.
