Method Detail

getName

public final java.lang.String getName()

Specified by:

getName in interface Tag

getCoefficient

public float getCoefficient()

Provides the coefficient of restitution.

Returns:

a value from zero to one under normal circumstances, but this will never be less than zero. Zero indicates that in a collision, all energy of motion will be lost. One indicates that all energy of motion will be preserved. Numbers greater than zero indicate that collisions will increase the energy of motion (things bounce higher each time, like flubber).

setCoefficient

public void setCoefficient(float e)

Sets the coefficient of restitution.

Parameters:

e - the desired coefficient.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if e is less than zero.

getCoefficient

public static float getCoefficient(PhysicalObject obj)
