Are there any ball tracking algorithms/patterns around in game programming

Question

Hello,

I am a newbie to game programming,I would need the suggestions and help of the wonderful people around here.

I have set of players, and a ball, the players can kick the ball around the ground (not yet a football game, neither a foosball game too ).Are there any algorithms/ patterns for addressing the problems with tracking the ball and taking decisions, Is that too much to ask.What I was looking at is something like a collision detection algorithm for the common problem of 2 objects interacting with one another.

Answer 1

You can use phys2d if you are using Java

Or box2D for C++
