Well done. Interesting illusion and code. I'm wondering if the illusion works because when you look at the center you are not focusing on the path or because we expect equal and opposite reactions when balls collide.

Thanks, s_noonan! Yes, I believe that it works because our brain makes assumptions about what it sees. Rather than seeing two distinct paths (one square and the other circular) we assume that the balls are bouncing off of each other, causing irregular motions. The motions become resolved when we are allowed to see the actual paths with tracers.
