Where Can I Find Detailed Ping Pong Physics Simulations Online?

[pmbasa]

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..

you can find some stuff here:

actually, I am also interested in your topic.

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..

you may find some stuff here:

and also NASA hase a program call curveball to simulate the path, see it here

actually, this is a free throw problems with some friction on the air.
