🧪 O'Neill Cylinder Cross-Section: Artificial Gravity & Coriolis Drift (2D)

Top-down 2D cross-section of a rotating O'Neill cylinder habitat. Adjust radius and spin rate to see real centrifugal artificial gravity (a = ω²R), rim speed, and drop a test object to visualize the Coriolis drift a spinning station would actually produce.
