To spheres colliding
Author
How do 2 speres react when they collide?
I''m trying to programm some sort of Billiard game.
Now i have the problem that they don''t react proberly!
Right now they are just change the speed and direction!
is thre a formular available?
thanks
They bounce at equal and opposite angles.
the one you fired bounces at opposite.
the one you hit bounces at the angle between the two.
Hope you understand what im going on about.

I had a similar problem myself last week... I looked at NeHe''s lesson 31 code... and I implemented the formula that he gives there for sphere-sphere response and it works beautifully...

taking the vector between the centres of the spheres, use this as a normal to a plane, and reflect the spheres velocity through this plane. The new velocities should obey the law that momentum is conserved, ie, momentum = mass * velocity. Therefor, after a collsion, the momentum vectors should still add up to the same as before the collision.
