This project is the creation of a simulation tool depicting the physical concept known as elastic collisions. The goal was to visually represent the different parameters affecting collisions covered in college-level physics, specifically mechanics.
The created JavaFX Application allows users to simulate elastic collisions in a 2-dimensional space using circular colliding objects. Each object, as well as each simulation instance has adjustable parameters which grant the user the ability to customize and fine tune their desired visualization through JavaFX graphical UI controls.
