Collisions with boundaries should stop at interesection point about verlet-js HOT 3 OPEN

Note that the proposed solution will result in the walls becoming 'sticky'. To make the collisions more elastic, the new position should actually be the reflected position across the boundary, and the old position should like wise be updated to be it's mirror image. This will get the next frame's velocity to be consistent.

I agree, this should fix the issue. Great callout! You are right, both position vectors will need to be updated. It should be possible to slip this functionality into the new bounds checking function on line 58: https://github.com/subprotocol/verlet-js/blob/master/js/verlet-js/verlet.js

Implemented inelastic solution ('sticky' is the wrong word, 'soft' or 'absorbent' would have been better) for the left hand side and it works as expected.

I'm going to implement the generic bounding line solution.
