A college student is seeking advice on creating a program to simulate Newton's cradle, expressing a lack of knowledge in simulation techniques. The student plans to use C# and XNA for graphics and is open to suggestions for alternative topics. Key challenges highlighted include simulating near-elastic collisions and the compression of the balls in the cradle. The discussion invites insights, resources, and any beneficial information related to these simulation aspects.

hello everybody. .
i am a college student. . and this year we are to write a program to simulate a physical phenomenon. . i chose Newton's cradle. .
so please if anyone has any precious info about this topic, or if anyone wants to suggest another topic for me to work on. . write it here. .
i know nothing about simulation. . they want us to learn that by ourselves. .
i want to work with C# and make graphics with XNA. .
i want any ideas. . any info. . anything beneficial for this issue. .
thanx a lot ppl. .

Thread 'Who is responsible for the software when AI takes over programming?'

I tried a web search "the loss of programming ", and found an article saying that all aspects of writing, developing, and testing software programs will one day all be handled through artificial intelligence. One must wonder then, who is responsible. WHO is responsible for any problems, bugs, deficiencies, or whatever malfunctions which the programs make their users endure? Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...
