Bouncing balls (C)

Try it out this example!

REBOUND has been compiled with emscripten to WebAssembly. This lets you run this example interactively from within your browser at almost native speed. No installation is required. Click here to try it out.

This example is a simple test of collision detection methods.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>
#include "rebound.h"

int main(int argc, char* argv[]){
    struct reb_simulation* r = reb_simulation_create();

    // Start the visualization web server.
    // Point your browser to http://localhost:1234
    reb_simulation_start_server(r, 1234);

    // Setup constants
    r->integrator    = REB_INTEGRATOR_LEAPFROG;
    r->gravity    = REB_GRAVITY_BASIC;
    r->collision    = REB_COLLISION_DIRECT;
    r->collision_resolve = reb_collision_resolve_hardsphere;
    r->usleep    = 1000;            // Slow down integration (for visualization only)
    r->dt = 1e-2;

    reb_simulation_configure_box(r, 3.0, 1, 1, 1);

    // Initial conditions
    {
        struct reb_particle p = {0};
        p.x  = 1; p.y  = 1; p.z  = 1;
        p.m  = 1;
        p.r  = 0.1;
        reb_simulation_add(r, p);
    }
    {
        struct reb_particle p = {0};
        p.x  = -1; p.y  = -1; p.z  = -1;
        p.m  = 1;
        p.r  = 0.1;
        reb_simulation_add(r, p);
    }

    reb_simulation_integrate(r, INFINITY);
}
