Hitting them a few times was enough to get them moving at a good speed, and then I drove around the screen.</p> <p>What I didn’t appreciate is that my collision model uses elastic collision, which allows the car to knock stuff over in a quite pleasing way where the car takes a little bit of a knock. But if those things are moving fast enough, as the cones are here, then any collision will also affect the car to a larger degree. You can see the car being pushed around by the out of control traffic cones.</p> <p><img src="https://cdn.gingerbeardman.com/images/posts/daily-driver-one-cannonball-run.gif#playdate" alt="GIF" /></p> by Matt Sephton Mon, 31 Aug 2020 00:00:00 +0000 https://blog.gingerbeardman.com/2020/08/31/cannonball-run/ https://blog.gingerbeardman.com/2020/08/31/cannonball-run/ <p><img src="https://cdn.gingerbeardman.com/images/posts/daily-driver-showreel.gif#playdate" alt="GIF" /></p> <p>Trying out some different things: a grab bag of scenarios.</p> <p>This long GIF shows several scenarios, different physics, and more!
