Ball not bouncing infinitely with perfect elastic collision settings
I'm trying to create a ball that exhibits perfect elastic collisions, meaning it should bounce infinitely without losing energy.
Here's what I've done so far:
Set the ball's restitution to 1
Set ...

How to choose the normal for collision?
Here two objects collide and I use impulse to calculate the velocity after the collision.
But because there are two objects, there are two normals. Calculating impulse only requires one normal.
My ...
