This code continues the previous blog post on two-dimensional collisions to model Brownian motion. The code is on my GitHub page.
Two-dimensional collisions
Posted by: christian in Featured on frontpage on 24 Jun 2019
This small Python project is a physical simulation of two-dimensional physics. The animation is carried out using Matplotlib's FuncAnimation method and is implemented by the class Simulation. Each "particle" of the simulation is represented by an instance of the Particle class and depicted as a circle with a fixed radius which undergoes elastic collisions with other particles.

A previous blog post dealt with packing circles into a circle. To fill an arbitrary shape, a slightly different approach is needed. The code presented in my github repo.
