Featured Challenge:
#184 — Elastic Collisions

What happens when two circles collide in a p5.js canvas? In this video, I examine the math and implement idealized elastic collisions in a physics simulation. This video supplements the Nature of Code book series in Chapter 6 which uses 3rd party physics libraries to handle collisions rather than a direct implementation.

In this coding challenge, I implement the “Gift Wrapping algorithm” (aka Jarvis march) for calculating a convex hull in JavaScript. This is a foundational topic in computational geometry!
