When making the AI for the NPC players, I'm having trouble in making the NPC predict the path of the ball, which is a RigidBody3D. I can't just get a raycast of the ball and try to intercept it, because then the AI would be fooled by the bouncing.
How can I make the AI predict the path of the ball? Since it is also a team sport, I thought about setting up a director AI which calculates the path of the ball based on its velocity and broadcast it to every player through signals, but I don't see how can I efficiently predict for the bouncing.
Hello, I've tried to code a classic bouncing balls animation but I can't get to make balls properly bounce.The problem is that sometimes the balls got stuck into each others or into the edges of the canvas, beside not changing color. I figured it might has something to do width the frame rate, which somehow make the balls enter one into another passing the edge without detection and without bouncing.. maybe Im wrong, but I can't find a solutionSomeone can help?
jeremydouglass thank you for your advice! In the video I can find a solution for the edges collision, which in my sketch now works. I have problems with balls getting stuck one into each other. I can't just invert the velocity as it is not predictable on which side the collision will be.
kfrajer, wow that sketch is a perfect bouncing balls solution. It is very different from mine and actually it's a bit beyond my level. I was trying to find a solution for the sketch I wrote. I feel like I would need a few strings of code.
The problem is that when one ball collide into another stay there forever cause keeps inverting direction. on the edge is easier because you just permanently invert the direction: if x is greater than width-r than direction is -10. on the other hand I can't predict which side balls are colliding into each other, so I can just say: if you go in one direction and collide, than invert direction. This cause them to continuously change the direction. Anyway it's hard to explain by writing. Hope this was comprehensible..
this way the balls will bounce in the exact opposite direction; checking the corresponding positions of the 2 colliding balls you should be able to fine tune the direction change a little more and make it look more natural.
I have a similar issue. I can get the balls to bouce off the walls and each other but when one of the balls hits the corner of the screen the program will crash. It only happens in the upper right hand corner. I know there is a problem somewhere but I for whatever reason cannot see it. Any Suggestions?
Hi, I need to simulate a bouncing ball in Labview using an Express XY graph. I know I need an event driven case structure, but am lost on where to go from there. The ball needs to bounce contintually despite bouncing off "walls". Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
The physics of a bouncing ball concerns the physical behaviour of bouncing balls, particularly its motion before, during, and after impact against the surface of another body. Several aspects of a bouncing ball's behaviour serve as an introduction to mechanics in high school or undergraduate level physics courses. However, the exact modelling of the behaviour is complex and of interest in sports engineering.
The motion of a ball is generally described by projectile motion (which can be affected by gravity, drag, the Magnus effect, and buoyancy), while its impact is usually characterized through the coefficient of restitution (which can be affected by the nature of the ball, the nature of the impacting surface, the impact velocity, rotation, and local conditions such as temperature and pressure). To ensure fair play, many sports governing bodies set limits on the bounciness of their ball and forbid tampering with the ball's aerodynamic properties. The bounciness of balls has been a feature of sports as ancient as the Mesoamerican ballgame.[1]
The motion of a bouncing ball obeys projectile motion.[2][3] Many forces act on a real ball, namely the gravitational force (FG), the drag force due to air resistance (FD), the Magnus force due to the ball's spin (FM), and the buoyant force (FB). In general, one has to use Newton's second law taking all forces into account to analyze the ball's motion:
Further refinements to the motion of the ball can be made by taking into account air resistance (and related effects such as drag and wind), the Magnus effect, and buoyancy. Because lighter balls accelerate more readily, their motion tends to be affected more by such forces.
In sports like tennis or volleyball, the player can use the Magnus effect to control the ball's trajectory (e.g. via topspin or backspin) during flight. In golf, the effect is responsible for slicing and hooking which are usually a detriment to the golfer, but also helps with increasing the range of a drive and other shots.[15][16] In baseball, pitchers use the effect to create curveballs and other special pitches.[17]
A popular demonstration involves the bounce of multiple stacked balls. If a tennis ball is stacked on top of a basketball, and the two of them are dropped at the same time, the tennis ball will bounce much higher than it would have if dropped on its own, even exceeding its original release height.[36][37] The result is surprising as it apparently violates conservation of energy.[38] However, upon closer inspection, the basketball does not bounce as high as it would have if the tennis ball had not been on top of it, and transferred some of its energy into the tennis ball, propelling it to a greater height.[36]
While the assumptions of separate impacts is not actually valid (the balls remain in close contact with each other during most of the impact), this model will nonetheless reproduce experimental results with good agreement,[37] and is often used to understand more complex phenomena such as the core collapse of supernovae,[36] or gravitational slingshot manoeuvres.[39]
The pressure of an American football was at the center of the deflategate controversy.[50][51] Some sports do not regulate the bouncing properties of balls directly, but instead specify a construction method. In baseball, the introduction of a cork-based ball helped to end the dead-ball era and trigger the live-ball era.[52][53]
Bouncing Balls is a bubble-shooting match-3 game. Pop all of the bubbles while battling against the speed of a 1000T weight. This game is bubble-popping action at its finest.Bouncing BallsHow to playShoot the colored balls at the matching colors. Match 3 of the same color to pop them all and score points. Think fast because the bubbles will slowly move towards you, signaling impending doom.
When baseball was in its infancy (before 1848), the ball had plenty of "bounce." The earliest baseballs had a rubber core and were somewhat smaller. Today's baseball is 9 to 9 1/4 inches in circumference, is made up of layers of yarn over a rubber-coated cork center and may not seem to have bounce to it. If you drop a ball on the field it won't bounce back -- a line drive or a strong throw will get more of a bounce out of a baseball. This activity will give you an idea of just how bouncy a baseball is.
Baseballs have less bounce than tennis balls or golf balls. This is due, in large part, to their construction. To measure the bounciness of a ball, you can try dropping it from a height onto a hard surface. Try comparing a baseball to a golf ball or a tennis ball.
You can also change how a ball bounces by changing its temperature. If you have two baseballs, try putting one in the freezer for an hour and leaving the other at room temperature. Try comparing their bouciness again.
For slightly better results, try this same experiment with golf balls. The refrigerated ball should bounce about 70 percent as high. Or try this experiment with hockey pucks. In the game of hockey, the pucks are frozen before every game to reduce their bounciness.
Exactly what happens to these molecules as they stretch and squeeze depends on what the ball is made of. Suppose you drop a ball of putty. Rather than bouncing, it hits the floor and flattens. All of the organized motion of the falling ball becomes the random motion of jiggling molecules. The random motion of jiggling molecules is a measure of thermal energy . The putty gets warmer, but it doesn't bounce. Putty is inelastic -- it doesn't return to its original shape.
I have the same issue. A year ago or so I had found how to load all the CC2018/19 tutorials into the Hands-On tutorials area of Help, but I can no longer find that information. As much as I appreciate Nicktendo28's response, the advantage to the Adobe ones within the program are the highlighted tools and instructions AS the students complete the exercises. If someone knows how to re-instate the older hands-on ones (boat ride and bouncing ball specifically) please post!
I also noticed that I play better when I hear the music/beat than I when my eyes are following the bouncing ball.
I tried not to follow the app but until I know the whole song there's a gap.
So it would be great if we could turn it off after having trained the song a bit
This is an essential feature to actually learn to play music rather than just play a game. Nobody has a bouncing ball during a real performance. The performance mode should ideally turn off the bouncing ball, or have an option to do that.
However, currently it is impossible in the app to turn the "bouncing dot" off. I've recently noticed that I've become overly reliant on it instead of paying attention to the actual note values. Moreover, at faster paces, I sometimes find the dot kind of distracting and confusing.
We should be able to play with the feel of the music and time the notes well without visually timing it with the ball. This will help to sync and jam with the feel of music better just like in the real scenario where there is no bouncing ball.
