Ball speed

Input the common speed for all balls here. The allowable area is from zero (halt) until 99. With the spin controls, one can select only until twelve.

With a pressed button “impulsive” becomes the speed for each individual ball randomly the 1/10- until 10/10-times of the common speed.
After a collision of the balls changes the new movement- and rotation speed impulsively.

Gravity

Hereby, the ball movement is executed with gravity. The strength of the gravity is put in with the edit-control on the base 2 dialog page.

Dynamical ball movement

With a pressed button "dynamical" is selected a linear, exponential or dancing movement of the balls.

bullet

linear: the ball-movement decreases from the double of the common speed up to the halt continually.

bullet

exponential: the ball-movement decreases exponentially from the 2,24-times up to the 0,02-times of the common speed.

bullet

dances: the balls dance to an internal program. The dance lasts 120 sec. approximately and recurs constantly.

Listener- or Spectator position

In Perpetuum mobile the sounds become output three-dimensional.

You can select from the following four positions:

bullet

Screen: You are before the monitor

bullet

Middle of the room: You are in the middle of the room

bullet

Elevator: You retrogress within two seconds in the room downward and again from above.
The elevator speed can be changed by a movement of the cursor over the game window. With it Doppler-effects come reinforced to the validity.

bullet

First ball: You are at the position of the first generated 3D-Object.

Show course

A pressed buton starts the show course. On this occasion changes the listener- to the spectator position.
