Class: KineticMass

new KineticMass(position, velocity, acceleration, mass, color)

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
position	p5.Vector	A vector object describing the balls acceleration.
velocity	p5.Vector	A vector object describing the ball's velocity.
acceleration	p5.Vector	A vector object describing the ball's acceleration.
mass	number	A scalar quantity indicating the mass.
color	color	The color of the ball.

Properties:

Name	Type	Description
limit	number	This sets the limit for the maximum speed. (default: 10000)
tail	bool	Displays a tail of little dots that trail behind the KineticMass as it moves.
outline	color	The color of the KineticMass object.
tailLength	number	The number of tailbits following the KineticMass object. (note: 70 is a good number)
tailFill	color	The tail color.
tailStroke	color	Thickness of the tail stroke.
tailSpacing	number	How many frames to skip before leaving a tailbit.

Examples

function setup() {
 //make a position vector
 pos = createVector(width/2,height/2)
 // make a velocity vector (5 px/fr in x, 2 px/fr in y)
 vel = createVector(5,2);
 // no acceleration
 accel = createVector(0,0);
 // create the ball. Give it a mass of 10, and let's make it red.
 ball = new KineticMass(pos,vel,accl,10,'red');
}

function draw(){
 // update the ball's parameters
 ball.update();
 //display changes
 ball.display();
}
