AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the search for effective ping pong physics simulations for research purposes, specifically focusing on collision detection, modeling techniques, programming languages used, and rendering graphics APIs, with a noted prevalence of OpenGL in existing resources. Participants share links to relevant materials, including a NASA program called Curveball and a free throw simulation by DeBevec, which incorporate physics principles like air friction. The goal is to create a user-interactive simulation that allows input of initial values such as speed, spin, and position of the ball, and visualizes its trajectory in 3D graphics. The conversation highlights a collaborative effort to find and share useful resources for small-scale research projects in physics simulation.

im currently looking for ping pong physics simulation in the web for my research.. i can't seem to find any which are useful..

im lookin for those that includes how the collision detection and modeling was handled, prog lang used, and graphics API for rendering(most i see are OpenGL), and the other physics stuff.. hope u can give me links or anythin, or any facts about ping pong physics simulations.. thnx guys.. very mch appreciated..

thanks a lot zyh, that was a real lot of help.. my research is only small scale..

i was planning to make a simulation in which the user inputs the initail values (speed, spin, position of the ball).. then the program simulates the path of the ball in 3d graphics.. i was wonderin if there are other stuff out there which are like mine..
 
thanks again!

Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'

I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.

Thread 'Project Documentation'

Thread 'Project Documentation'

Trying to package up a small bank account manager project that I have been tempering on for a while. One that is certainly worth something to me. Although I have created methods to whip up quick documents with all fields and properties. I would like something better to reference in order to express the mechanical functions. It is unclear to me about any standardized format for code documentation that exists. I have tried object orientated diagrams with shapes to try and express the...
