I've got to make a program in vb6 for a major project, but i can't think of what to make. I would prefer to make something that i might end up using once I've made it, so that its not a complete waste of time. Any ideas?

Thanks, that really helped :)

So far this is what i have...I've commented it heavily because i don't know if you are familiar with vb6. 'n' represents a ball in an array, it is the ball that is originally moving. 'm' represents each other ball to test for a collision. For m = 0 To 15 '(m is the variable for the...

Yes, that is what I'm trying to do, however it is a little difficult as I'm working on coordinates. Each ball has an x and y position and moves a certain x and y every say millisecond. So i need to find the angle that it collides with, and all i have is an (x,y) position of ball1, and an (x,y)...

With your logic, only one ball would be moving on the table at anyone time. The ball would continue in a straight line and the other would stop only if it was hit head on. my main problem is when it kinda clips the ball so that some of the energy is transferred into the other ball but some also...

sorry, this might sound like a stupid question but what does 'gtr' stand for? general something relativity? But apart from that, thanks, makes a bit more sense (kinda) now. Ahh, i see, good analogy... but with the earth, it is curved in the third dimension...how is spacetime curved? Cool, thanks

Hi, I'm currently working on a game of pool/snooker. Its all going great, but i have this problem when the balls hit each other. I can get them to bounce off the walls correctly, but that's because the walls are either vertical or horizontal...hitting a ball is more difficult. At the moment...

I'm confused. If the speed of light is changing, does that mean that a vacuum's refractive index is also changing? What effect would the speeding up / slowing down of lights speed have on various models etc... Also, I read somewhere about light being refracted by gravity...but how does this...

but if the atom absorbs the energy and the re-emits it at the same frequency, why does it re-emit in one direction. For example, take a perfect reflection mirror - the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. How can this be explained on the atomic level?
