I am implementing the collisions of my game in javascript, and at the moment what happens when the objects collide is that they have their speed changed to 0. What I'm starting to want to do is to make it a little more interesting when the player plays with other objects in motion, they collide and separate. This is a very physical 2D issue itself. If an object A is at positive velocity at x collides with an object B is at negative velocity at x, collide head-on, what would be the best calculation to do so that they separate naturally after the collision?
What if they go in the same direction in x? and if one has going on x and another on y? How do I deal with all this?
Should I add mass and acceleration to make this separation calculation after the collision?
