Does the angular momentum affect gameplay or is it just for show? I never saw the direction change to clockwise.

  Hehehe it's just for show! A simple equation that uses the incident angle of a collision to produce a visually appealing result. I felt I could get away with this because the physics in the original Pong are also made up: the further the ball hits the center of the paddle, the larger the angle of reflection. You have a good eye!

    This looks like you just took pong and glommed some 3D models on it, and the physics isn't really that interesting - especially when you consider all the different reflections and angles that the spout and handle of the teapot could provide, were you actually doing surface collisions rather than a bounding circle ..

      Since the author mentions that his goal was "deeper understanding of some fundamental concepts of computer graphics and real-time rendering in particular."... > you just took pong and glommed some 3D models on it that's probably exactly what he did, and was probably exactly all that was intended to be done

        Fair enough. Shouldn't be too much harder to use the actual surface physics next, then ..
