This program draws particles with random velocities into a SFML window. Particles collide with each other and window boundaries. There is a small friction coefficient and particles are assumed to have the same mass.
Two classes inside particles.cpp source file, ParticlePool and Particle.
ParticlePool contructor creates multiple Particle´s and stores them in a C++ vector,
which is then accessed to update movement and detect collisions. Details on how
collision velocities are calculated are described in source code comments.
Written in C++.
Only built on Linux so far, can´t guarantee it will work on other systems although no majoy changes will be needed.
Version: 1.0

Only dependency is SFML, which you may need to install seperately.
If you have trouble linking SFML then make sure pkg-config can find the pc files
for this, mine are located in /usr/lib64/pkgconfig
