An ellipse (x^2 + (y/a)^2 = 1) and a superellipse (x^4 + (y/a)^4 = 1) billiard are compared by executing 100 linearly arranged balls in the same direction.
The balls in the superellipse display a chaotic behaviour compared to the linear case for the ellipse.
Music by @gpcbass. The song is called End of nine 2, and made today specifically for this video.
Visuals done in Python and FFmpeg.
