Collision Detection bug
Jan 18th, 2009, 7:58pm  
Hi, I am trying to do a collision detection on a system of objects

The sketch can be found here:

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/ricardo.sanchez/processing/collision/

Nothing special, the circles should change the strokeWeight when they are touching, if you test the code the collition is working but the changing appareance in not, so I guess it must be the way I am drawing the objects mmmmm not sure...

If you can have a llok will be much appretiated, any advice welcome as well.

/** The Orb class is not been use **/

Thanks

minDist should be the sum of the radii, or half diameters.
Also not sure why you stop the loop on i before the last element.

Hi PhiLho, thanks for the reply!


Yes the _radius property should be call _diameter as that is what that represent, my bad there.

I dont see the code where you mention "Also not sure why you stop the loop on i before the last element."

Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks again
