I’m trying to write a simple 2D physics simulator. In it, I have 3 classes : One for box, one for circle, and one called manifold which serve for collision detection. Long story short, the manifold class need to have 2 variable of the thing that colide inside that can either be a box or circle. I f…

Object a = new manifold(); Object b = new box(); Object c = new circle(); Are all valid statements but what data type are they? In fact they are all of type Object so when you do something like a.checkCollision(b, c); It won’t work because checkCollision is a method inside the mmanifold class an…
