Help with mouse moving object and colisions

[macwadu]

Hello I'm having a problem in my programing, i drag a ball with mouse and i when it colides with other ball it stays there and don't overlap it and i don't know how to do it, can anyone help me?

Balls are just circles in two dimensions; a circle is defined by its centre C and its radius R. Two circles (C1, R1) and (C2, R2) touch if and only if |C1-C2| <= R1+R2 where |C1-C2| is the distance between the two centres. Making them bounce off in the right direction is an entirely different problem.

kind regards,

Jos

Ok, but i can detect if they colide, what i dont know is how they dont overlap.

If both balls/circles don't overlap then |C1-C2| > R1+R2.

kind regards,

I compiled and ran your code.
It seems to perform some sort of reaction
while the mouse has control over the
'center ball'.

I don't want to study this action.
I'd rather you explain it, if this is
a problem you want help with.

Here is a fix to render a clean
overlap of the images using what
is commonly known as the painter's
algorithm:

    g.setColor(Color.white);
    g.fillOval(x1, y1, BALL_DIAMETER, BALL_DIAMETER);
    g.setColor(Color.DARK_GRAY);
    g.drawOval(x1, y1, BALL_DIAMETER, BALL_DIAMETER);
    g.drawString(TEXT, x1+10, y1+25);
    
    g.setColor(Color.white);
    g.fillOval(x2, y2, BALL_DIAMETER2, BALL_DIAMETER2);
    g.setColor(Color.DARK_GRAY);
    g.drawOval(x2, y2, BALL_DIAMETER2, BALL_DIAMETER2);
    g.drawString(TEXT2, x2+10, y2+25);
    
    g.setColor(Color.white);
    g.fillOval(x3, y3, BALL_DIAMETER2, BALL_DIAMETER2);
    g.setColor(Color.DARK_GRAY);
    g.drawOval(x3, y3, BALL_DIAMETER2, BALL_DIAMETER2);
    g.drawString(TEXT3, x3+10, y3+25);

This modification to your code may not be
what you want, but it is harmless, and
improves the rendering's aesthetics.

how they dont overlap

What does "overlap" mean? When I drag a circle, it overlaps other circles with no problem.

[macwadu]

Thats my problem i dont the balls to do that overlap. I want the balls to dont intersect.

[Norm]

i dont the balls to do that overlap

Ok we misunderstood your problem.
JosAH has given the formula for detecting if the balls touch or overlap.
Stop moving the ball if they touch.

[macwadu]

Can you help me with the Stop moving the ball, i dont know how to do it.

[Norm]

Look at the code where the ball is being moved. Test if the new position will touch any of the other balls. If it does, do NOT move the ball.
You'll need a list of the other balls so you can check each ones position. That could be done by having a class for each ball and a method that takes a Ball as arg and returns true if the balls touch.

[macwadu]

Tanks for the help, i'm going to trie

[paul pasciak]

If the balls do not overlap,
which do you want them to do?

1. push the other aside
2. slip around the other
3. halt unless pulled away from the other

[macwadu]

I want the ball to do the point 3.
