I am very new to Box 2D Physics world. I wanted to know how to collide 2 bodies when one is Dynamic and other is Kinematic.

The whole Scenario is explained below: I have 3 balls in total. I want to balls to remain in their places and the third ball to be able to move. When the third ball hits the other two balls then they should move according to the speed and direction from which they were hit. My gravity of the world is 0 because I only want z-axis gravity.

I would also like some one to point me towards some good tutorials regarding Box 2D basics which is language independent.

I hope I have explained my scenario well.

Thanks for the help in advance.
