Example 16: Roulette Wheel Simulation
Demonstrates realistic casino roulette physics including:
- Spinning wheel with rotational motion
- Ball launched with initial velocity
- Ball bounces off deflectors (diamond-shaped obstacles)
- Friction and damping slow the ball
- Ball settles into a numbered pocket
This showcases:
- Rotational dynamics (spinning wheel)
- Collision detection (ball bouncing)
- Energy dissipation (friction, damping)
- Complex multi-body interactions
- Real-world physics accuracy
Requires Rapier service for rigid-body simulation.
