I had a meeting this morning with Dr Lucas. I showed him what I had, along with all the problems I have had. He agrees that the program needs a timer and he suggested that the rotation problem could be sorted using the equation set out in the formula booklet. He told me to just keep focused on getting the particle bouncing of the inclined smooth plane first and that I 'should not run before I can walk' as I tend to over-think things too much, which is a recurring bad habit of mine. He also walked me through the maths and physics behind the bounce again.
-------
Plan:
- Fix rotation by adding matrix class
- Add timing code
- Make particle fall under gravity
- Make the point into a line so easier to see
- Calculate resultant motion correctly
