Vector Reflection Formula (each bounce)
r = d − 2(d·n)n
d = incident direction unit vector
n = outward surface normal
r = reflected direction (speed unchanged, COR=1)
For Vibranium (COR ≈ 1.00), no kinetic energy is absorbed on impact. Normal wall normals: left=(+1,0), right=(−1,0), top=(0,+1), bottom=(0,−1). Current throw: v=(21.7, 12.5) m/s
