Hi guys, I don't know if I've missed something, am tired, or am going crazy,
possibly all three.
I'm a beginner, been messing around with a little collision sandbox, which I kinda expanded from the particle system example in the tutorials.
I'm slowly getting things working though there are weird behaviours everywhere.
I have a bunch of balls (2d) bouncing around, and am able to draw a line and add points to it which the circles will bounce off of, so I thought I can use basically the same functions to make em bounce off a square, which is a quad.
After a load of stupid omissions I got the balls bouncing off 3 sides like they should, the fourth (vertex 3-0) was bouncing wrong though.
The line function has a quirk that if its not drawn left to right it doesnt work properly and it got transferred to the quad, I tried all sorts of different things to fix it (doingfunction(vertex 3,vertex0) instead of function(vertex0, vertex3) til finally I found a way which really puzzles me.
For that one side only, I have to create a new vertexarray with two vertices, copy the positions from the two vertices from the quad into them, and feed those vertices into the formula.
The formula just takes coordinates so why would it matter if I copy those coordinates into some new vertices?
Even so it only works partially though, if the bottom vertex(3rd) is on the left and top(1st) on the right
The code is ridiculously messy please be gentle
I'm happy to read any suggestions as long as they're attached with an answer to my question,
thanks guys
