Pangolin Forage-and-Curl Simulator (2D)

The 3D Pangolin Forest scene animates a pangolin wandering a lit forest but never exposes what actually drives it. This 2D companion turns that into a visible top-down state machine: the pangolin searches for termite mounds, digs them open at a rate set by dig speed, tongue-flicks released insects at a rate set by tongue speed, and — the instant a predator's distance drops inside a radius set by alarm sensitivity — snaps into an armored ball for a fixed curl hold time. Watch how a higher alarm sensitivity trades foraging time for safety margin, and how a longer curl hold time protects against a lingering threat at the cost of energy drained while curled and unable to eat.
