how did the others get the balls nicely lined up on top before the start? mine start falling through immediately
What I did, was to simply put a 'cube' there and then pulled it awayat the beginning of the simulation
:
Also, each time, a ball hits a peg, it should theoretically hit it 'in the middle', so it has a 0.5 chancee of getting deflected left or right.
Almost everybody places the pegs horizontally too close together:
O cool Martin thanks. I cant try that tomorrow. Now a bit beat. I moved the pegs exactly the wrong way then in my second attempt, but now i understand what im supposed to be doing.
Ok my second attempt. I don't know why, but when I moved the box at the beginning the balls just hang there so I had to cache to where they were hanging and then change the frames for the rest

Good one Omar :)
Actually on the right theres more, but because the chest is too deep you can't see them. I don't know how Martin managed to exactly align them good this was more on sight. But thanks Omar
the distribution should look like this at the end
mine looks like this:
Hi Sheila,
When you look at that drawing, you see the balls hitting a peg, rolling off it to one side and falling straight down. That is not how the balls fall in the simulation.
You probably could tweak the Settinngs to get the balls to fall like that, but even then, they'd havre to fall one at a time, so they don't interact with each other.
Looking at your result, you are ver close!, but the peg placement seems to be slightly off for these Settings each ball should hit each peg exactly in the middle and yours seem to favor one side over the other.
Also, the amount of balls and slits make the effect more (or less) obvious.
And finally, I spent many hours tweaking the Physics Settings and adjusting the peg placement, to get that result.
I didn't think of the interaction between the balls. I'll leave it for now so i can progress on the course. But might pick it up later. I don't have your stamina ;)
