A Bouncing Cube

Author: Various



With the rapid progress of computer technology and applications, we see graphics everywhere. Special effects artists use graphics to create illusions which go far beyond the limits of models and robotics.

Movie corporations, such as Disney, and game designers create three-dimensional characters by combining solid polyhedra and manipulating them in a three-dimensional world. In this article we will tackle a basic computer graphics problem: creating an image on the screen of a solid cube bouncing in a 3D room.
