Before you adjust the velocities and angles of two colliding asteroids,\n you must first check if they are colliding at all!\n \n If they are nowhere near each other, there's no reason to run \"bounce\" code.\n \n So let's write that check. \n Two objects needs to bounce if they are colliding.\n They are colliding if they are touching.\n They are touching if *the distance from one asteroid's center to another's is less than the sum of the two radii.*\n That's less fancy than it sounds.

Some code below prints \"Crash!\" in the console log whenever two Asteroids overlap.\n Make sure that's working, then we tackle the real puzzle: the bounce.\n\n To get bouncing to work, we'll have to employ a bit more math. \n Don't worry about the details now — the beauty of code is that you can use other people's work if you set it up right (and attribute when necessary)!\n\n Here's the basic idea:\n A moving object has a quantity called *momentum* defined as mass times velocity.\n That means you pick up more momentum the faster you go, but bigger things also have more momentum than smaller things.\n\n Momentum helps with collision computation because it is a law of physics that momentum is *conserved* in an ideal collision.\n The *total* momentum of two colliding objects does not change before and after the collision.\n\n What that means is that we can set up an equation: \n Total momentum before == total momentum after.\n\n Solving that equation (often by including a little geometry to get the angles right) gets you to the velocities of the objects when they bounce.\n\n If you feel like going deep — all the way deep — here's a link to all the fancy math: https://williamecraver.wixsite.com/elastic-equations.\n\n I'll do my best to give you a taste of the calculation without litigating every detail.\n */\n\n // A method to set velocities after a collision, from the perspective of one Asteroid.\n resolveCollision(other) {\n // As usual, we split up motion into X- and Y-components.\n let dx = other.x - this.x; // X-distance between centers. \n let dy = other.y - this.y; // Y-distance between centers.\n let distance = Math.sqrt(dx * dx + dy * dy); // Pythagoras again to get straight-line distance between centers.\n\n // Now we calculate two important vectors that summarize the collision.\n\n // First, the *normal* vector, which points from the center of an Asteroid to the point of contact.\n // We require the normal vector to have a length of 1 to simplify calculations later.\n // We achieve this by dividing by the total distance between the Asteroids.\n // And as usual, we split the normal vector into two components:\n let nx = dx / distance; // X-component of normal vector.\n let ny = dy / distance; // Y-component.\n\n // The other important vector is the *tangent* vector, which represents the line of contact, like a slip of paper balanced between the Asteroids.\n // The tangent vector is always perpendicular to the normal vector.\n // This means we can calculate it by switching the normal's X for its Y and introducing a negative (draw a picture to see why).\n let tx = -ny; // The X of the tangent is the negative Y of the normal.\n let ty = nx; // The Y of the tangent is the X of the normal.\n\n // The combination of normal and tangent gives a pair of right-angle vectors relative to which we will calculate our trajectories.\n // We could use translate() and rotate() as we did when centering on a Ball, but it's not required. (Try it yourself if you want — in some ways that's easier to understand!)\n\n /*\n One last piece of mathematical machinery: the *dot product*.\n On paper, the dot product is a combo of multiplication and addition of two vectors.\n Its function is measure how *aligned* two vectors are. \n If two vectors are perpendicular, their dot product is zero.\n If they point the same direction, their dot product hits its maximum, which is the product of their lengths.\n Big dot product: two vectors are aligned.\n Small dot product: they are pointing in different directions.\n */\n\n // The dot product of the Asteroid's original velocity with the normal vector.\n // This calculates how aligned the old velocity was with the direction of collision.\n let dpNorm1 = this.vx - nx + this.vy * ny;\n // dpNorm2 is for the other Asteroid, the one we are colliding with.\n let dpNorm2\n\n // Now the dot product of the tangent vector and the Asteroid's velocity vector.\n // The tangent is perpendicular to the direction of collision, so this measures how *unaligned* the old velocity is with the collision.\n let dpTan1\n // And for the other Asteroid.\n let dpTan2\n\n // OK, we have this toolbelt of vectors. The final piece of the puzzle, before we can actually update the velocites, is to calculate the momenta.\n // \"m1\" is the momentum of our Asteroid after the crash; \"m2\" is for the other asteroid.\n // This equation is fancy and a bit hard to understand. I will just point out that is built of pieces you already know or that we just established.\n // Send me a message and set up a time if you want to do a heavy-duty hardcore physics session to learn this math for real!\n\n // Momentum depends on mass — you see those terms. And dpNorm holds information about velocity — the other piece of momentum.\n let m1 = (dpNorm1 * (this.mass - other.mass) + 2 * other.mass * dpNorm2) / (this.mass + other.mass);\n let m2 = (dpNorm2 * (other.mass - this.mass) + 2 * this.mass * dpNorm1) / (this.mass + other.mass);\n\n // At last, change the velocities of the Asteroids.\n // We add two vectors: one in the tangent direction, one in the normal direction; and we do this separately in X and Y.\n this.vx\n this.vy\n\n // Same thing for the other Asteroid.\n other.vx\n other.vy\n\n // Last but not least, recalculate the angles of both Asteroids so we can update our interface. atan2(), baby!\n this.angle\n other.angle\n }\n /*\n Take a deep breath. That was a lot and it really deserves more time and lead-up.\n Takeaways, though:\n - Collision doesn't require *that* much code. 17 lines, not including the angle updates.\n - This is because the math (geometry) of physics is so elegant and therefore programmable!\n - This method is quite general, and you can adapt this code into lots of situations.\n - If your objects are not round, calculating distance can be a little trickier, but many languages and packages have built-in tools for that.\n - You could adjust this code to support so-called \"inelastic collisions\" where the colliding objects lose a little energy (momentum) when they hit each other (realistic).\n - The easy way to do this is to multiply after-collision velocity by a number like 0.9, like we explored with wall bouncing.\n - You won't need to touch the directional code. The tangent and normal business always applies to both elastic and inelastic collisions.\n - However, you could translate and rotate you coordinate system so that the normal direction is the new X-axis and the tangent is the new Y.\n - Use push() and pop() for this. If you get the rotation and translation right, the momentum calculations simplify a lot.\n \n Now, take some time to play around. Knock the Asteroids into each other and see if you can predict how they'll bounce before it happens.\n Use 'P' to pause the simulation if you need to think.\n\n Go back to the setup() function and adjust the masses, too — see how that changes the results.\n\n If you want to check out the other code behind this (like drawing the vectors), it's all below.\n Read it at your leisure!\n */\n\n // Check if the mouse is on the Asteroid: true/false\n isMouseOver() {\n let d = dist(mouseX, mouseY, this.x, this.y);\n return d < this.r;\n }\n\n // Next three methods are so you can draw a force vector by dragging.\n startDragging() {\n this.dragging = true;\n this.dragStartX = mouseX;\n this.dragStartY = mouseY;\n paused = true;\n }\n\n // Calculate force in each direction by distance (subtraction) between mouse and Asteroid center.\n updateDragging() {\n if (this.dragging) {\n this.forceX = (mouseX - this.x) * 2; // Multiplying by 2 just for feel, so you don't have to drag out super long arrows.\n this.forceY = (mouseY - this.y) * 2;\n }\n }\n\n // When you release...\n stopDragging() {\n this.dragging = false;\n // Add to the velocity: that's acceleration!\n // a = F / m.\n this.vx += this.forceX / this.mass;\n this.vy += this.forceY / this.mass;\n\n // We envision a quick impulse of force, just one frame.\n // Then, turn off the force and let the Asteroids fly.\n this.forceX = 0;\n this.forceY = 0;\n paused = false;\n }\n\n // Familiar movement code.\n move() {\n this.x += this.vx;\n this.y += this.vy;\n // We are not saving acceleration as its own thing, so those two lines are all we need.\n\n // The next two blocks are for wall collisions, same as last week.\n if (this.x - this.r < interfaceWidth) {\n this.x = interfaceWidth + this.r; // Prevent getting stuck\n this.vx *= -1;\n } else if (this.x + this.r > width) {\n this.x = width - this.r;\n this.vx *= -1;\n }\n\n if (this.y - this.r < 0) {\n this.y = this.r;\n this.vy *= -1;\n } else if (this.y + this.r > height) {\n this.y = height - this.r;\n this.vy *= -1;\n }\n\n // We update the angle of the velocity vector with atan2()\n this.angle = atan2(-this.vy, this.vx);\n\n // And position helpful text above/below the Asteroid.\n if (this.y > (2 * height) / 3) {\n this.textAbove = true;\n } else if (this.y < height / 3) {\n this.textAbove = false;\n }\n }\n\n // Draw the Asteroid as a ball (with some vector arrows and some text)\n display() {\n // The easy part: a circle.\n fill(this.color);\n ellipse(this.x, this.y, this.r * 2, this.r * 2);\n\n // The little cross in the middle so we can see our angles.\n stroke(128);\n line(this.x - 10, this.y, this.x + 10, this.y);\n line(this.x, this.y - 10, this.x, this.y + 10);\n\n // Calculate the velocity magnitude so that fast == long arrow.\n let velocityMagnitude = Math.sqrt(this.vx * this.vx + this.vy * this.vy); // Look familiar?\n\n // Map the velocity magnitude to a suitable range of lengths.\n let arrowLength = map(velocityMagnitude, 0, 10, 0, 100);\n\n // Calculate the end point of the arrow with some trigonometry.\n let arrowX = this.x + arrowLength * cos(this.angle);\n let arrowY = this.y - arrowLength * sin(this.angle);\n\n // Adjust thickness based on velocity magnitude too.\n let strokeWeightValue = map(velocityMagnitude, 0, 10, 1, 5);\n\n // Now draw the velocity arrow.

Then, we'll make sure the `resolveCollision` method calculates the new velocities correctly based on momentum conservation principles.\n\nHere's how you can implement the `resolveCollision` function:\n\n```javascript\n// A method to set velocities after a collision, from the perspective of one Asteroid.\nresolveCollision(other) {\n // As usual, we split up motion into X- and Y-components.\n let dx = other.x - this.x; // X-distance between centers. \n let dy = other.y - this.y; // Y-distance between centers.\n let distance = Math.sqrt(dx * dx + dy * dy); // Pythagoras again to get straight-line distance between centers.\n\n // Now we calculate two important vectors that summarize the collision.\n let nx = dx / distance; // X-component of normal vector.\n let ny = dy / distance; // Y-component.\n\n // Calculate the relative velocity in terms of the normal direction\n let relVelocityX = other.vx - this.vx;\n let relVelocityY = other.vy - this.vy;\n let relVelAlongNormal = relVelocityX * nx + relVelocityY * ny;\n\n // Do not resolve if velocities are separating\n if (relVelAlongNormal > 0) return;\n\n // Calculate restitution (elasticity) for a perfect elastic collision\n let restitution = 1;\n\n // Calculate impulse scalar\n let impulse = -(1 + restitution) * relVelAlongNormal;\n impulse /= (1 / this.mass) + (1 / other.mass);\n\n // Apply impulse to the velocities\n let impulseX = impulse * nx;\n let impulseY = impulse * ny;\n\n this.vx -= (1 / this.mass) * impulseX;\n this.vy -= (1 / this.mass) * impulseY;\n other.vx += (1 / other.mass) * impulseX;\n other.vy += (1 / other.mass) * impulseY;\n}\n```\n\n### How it works:\n- **Relative Velocity Calculation**: We calculate how fast and in what direction the two asteroids are moving relative to each other.\n- **Impulse Calculation**: Using the relative velocity, we calculate the impulse needed to separate the asteroids based on their masses and velocities.\n- **Velocity Update**: We apply the impulse to adjust the velocities of both asteroids, ensuring momentum and energy conservation for an elastic collision.\n\nReplace the existing `resolveCollision` method in your `Asteroid` class with this complete version. Let me know if the asteroids are now colliding correctly or if you have any other questions!","created_at":"2025-01-02T17:08:04.513913Z","output_tokens":687}],"assets":[{"project_id":2052,"created_at":"2024-06-25T17:08:08.195792Z","resource_type":"image","id":10971,"cloudinary_id":"cmq00rqq3b5w2nffvlac","name":"screenshot","deleted":false}],"messages_sent":3,"comments":[],"steps":[]}
