In this coding challenge, I follow up on the Earthquake Data Visualization challenge and create a 3D version in Processing(Java) using spherical coordinates. I also discuss some 3D vector math including the cross product.

#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.

earthquake data
In this coding challenge, I visualize earthquake data from the USGS by mapping the latitude, longitude and the magnitude of earthquakes with p5.js. The map imagery is pulled from mapbox and the math demonstrated converts latitude, longitude to x,y via Web Mercator.
