let the ball move ...

30 July 2012 - 10:06 AM

I am trying to simulate a soccer ball. I already know all the maths and physics (magnus effect, etc.) behind.
Right now i have just an understanding problem with velocities:
the ball moves in a certain direction x,y (lets assume its not flying so no 3rd dimension) by having 2 velocities for x and y axis.
My problem is now that once the velocity in one direction gets zero (cuz of friction and other forces) the ball still moves on one axis which then looks strange cuz it then starts to move only horizontaly/verticaly depending on which velocity gets zero.

Maybe someone can bring some clarity in this ...
