bouncing ball using Newton?
Author
I'm stumped. What's the trick to making a bouncing ball using Newton? Currently, my ball falls to the floor, rattles a bit, then stops. No real bounce. I set the body elasticity to 1.0. Am I misunderstanding the use of this parameter?
What's the code you're using? We'd probably need to see that before we find out what's going on here.

I'm guessing that he is using the Newton physics engine. Although I was as confused as you at first [smile] EDIT: Sorry, maybe you were aware of that point ^^ I should probably go to sleep...
I've never used the Newton physics engine so can't help you there.

Oops. I assumed that Newton was a household name around here. The physics engine I'm using is "Newton Game Dynamics v1.53".
BTW, I was able to solve the bounce problem. If anyone cares, you just need to add a callback something like this:
