Dear experts,

I wanted to implement ball physics and as i m newbie, i adapt the code in tutorial http://adam21.web.officelive.com/Documents/JavaPhysicsTutorial.pdf .

i try to follow that as i much as i can, but i m not able to apply all physical phenomenon in code, can somebody please tell me, where i m mistaken or i m still doing some silly programming mistake.

The balls are moving when i m not calling bounce method and i m unable to avail the bounce method and ball are moving towards left side instead of falling/ending on floor**,

Can some body recommend me some better way or similar easy compact way to accomplish this task of applying physics on two ball or more balls with interactivity.

here is code ;

}   

*EDIT:*ok splitting the code using new approach for gravity from this forum: this code also not working the ball is not coming on floor:

public void mymove() {

    m_x += m_velocityX;
    m_y += m_velocityY;

    if (m_y + m_bottomBound > 400) {
        m_velocityY *= -0.981;
    //  setY(400 - m_bottomBound);
        m_y = 400 - m_bottomBound;

    }

    // ... Bounce the ball off the walls if necessary.
    if (m_x < 0) { // If at or beyond left side
        m_x = 0; // Place against edge and
        m_velocityX = -m_velocityX;

    } else if (m_x > m_rightBound) { // If at or beyond right side
        m_x = m_rightBound - 20; // Place against right edge.
        m_velocityX = -m_velocityX;
    }

    if (m_y < 0) { // if we're at top
        m_y = 1;
        m_velocityY = -m_velocityY;

    } else if (m_y > m_bottomBound) { // if we're at bottom
        m_y = m_bottomBound - 20;
        m_velocityY = -m_velocityY;

    }
}

thanks a lot for any correction and help.
