I am trying to get a sphere to bounce randomly in a window, any ideas on how to code this? I am setting up an array vector to hangle this (AVector [3][3]). I ultimately will bounce three balls that is the reason for the two dimentional array. If this is confusing and there is a better way please inform me.
Thanks

How is the sphere supposed to be bouncing? Like a rubber ball that is pulled down by gravity, like a flipper ball bouncing off the edges of your window?
Hi north00001,
I’ve just made a new tutorial on physics on my site. It’s for OpenGL with complete source & demo. http://www.baskuenen.myweb.nl/gravity.htm

I wanted to have the sphere move randomly in the window and reflect back in at the edges. I didn’t realize it was this involved. With that said, I guess we could use the earths gravity. Actually the sphere is an atomic element like hydrogen which I was trying to model moving freely in the window. Thanks in advance for any input.
