Art collides with Code

Two announcements.

I am incredibly honored and excited to be participating in the upcoming Art and Code symposium, organized by Golan Levin at Carnegie Mellon University.

In addition, I’m finally working on a new tutorial page for the Nature of Code site. The tutorial will be about resolving collisions and I’m using the excellent book Mathematics and Physics for Programmers as a basis. I’ve posted the very first example, a simple implementation (using PVector) of two circles (equal mass) colliding. Note the collision is an idealized elastic collision. And the example isn’t terribly sophisticated and needs some improvements in order to work with more than two objects.
