Please check out my new blog at mas-bandwidth.com! Introduction Hi, I’m Glenn Fiedler. Welcome to Virtual Go, my project to create a physically accurate computer simulation of a Go board and stones.
So far in this series, we have mathematically defined the go stone, rendered it, determined how it moves and rotates, and discussed how its shape affects how it responds to collisions.

In the previous article we detected collision between the go stone and the go board. Now we’re working up to calculating collision response so the stone bounces and wobbles before coming to rest on the board.

In this series so far we’ve defined the shape of a go stone, rendered it using 3D graphics hardware and simulated how it moves in three dimensions.

Please check out my new blog at mas-bandwidth.com! Introduction Hi, I’m Glenn Fiedler. Welcome to Virtual Go, my project to create a physically accurate computer simulation of a Go board and stones.
In previous articles we mathematically defined the shape of a go stone and tessellated its shape so it can be drawn with 3D graphics hardware.
Now we want to make the go stone move, obeying Newton’s laws of motion so the simulation is physically accurate.

In this article we want to draw the go stone using OpenGL.
Unfortunately we can’t just tell the graphics card, “Hey! Please draw the intersection of two spheres with radius r and d apart with a bevel torus r1 and r2!

If you play Go, you know that a biconvex go stone has an interesting wobble when it’s placed on the board. This wobble is a direct consequence of its unique shape.
