Alas that might take another time to figure out...(but now is the time!!!)
As for now I'm just saving copies and renaming them version 3.0, 3.1, 4.0, 4.1, 5.0, etc etc. It's quite arbitrary.
LOL I don't know how this is going to work. I feel like a /real software developer/ except I'm really doing a project that's been done before.
I messed with 4.0 to see if I could iron out the problems with too small of a spring constant but didn't get anything out of it so I'm ditching that.
Current task: figure out how to add energy lost.
Gray suggested adding the energy only at the expansion phase (aka when the spring pushes off, energy is added by extra force?).
Hmmm something about power and force and velocity.
Notes:
-first bounce looks good
-second bounce skids to a stop
hypothesis: too much force and in the wrong direction
-proposed solution: change condition of expansion to include spring.axis.x > 0
-results: ball gets "trapped" and bounces in circles
solution 2:
...
