Thread: Simple dynamic-static circle collision response

Hellooooo! I have spent an endless amount of time this weekend trying to figure out simple physics for a pong-ish game I'm work on in which the paddles are circles rather than lines. I am having a hard time finding a well explained way to bounce the ball of of the circular paddles realistically. Most tutorials are for dynamic-dynamic collisions and I find them hard to understand and thus manipulate it to how I need it to work. I understand conservation of energy and stuff, the problem is the angles and figuring out the x+y velocities after. If someone could give me some guidance and perhaps a code snippet / an equation I could use it would be greatly appreciated!

Just need a way to get the final x+y velocities after the collision with the paddle ^^ thnx ahead of time

Ok well I didn't understand any of that :$ aha I did find out however that R = 2W - P for reflecting off of an angled wall which is essentially what I'm doing. I'm however not mathematically smart enough to manipulate that to give me a vector after... HELPS
