📈 Lotka-Volterra Phase Plane — Prey vs Predator Orbit (2D)

A 2D Canvas view of the classic Lotka-Volterra predator-prey differential equations, numerically integrated with RK4 and plotted both as population-vs-time curves and as a prey-vs-predator phase-plane orbit.

⚙ Under the hood

A 2D Canvas view of the classic Lotka-Volterra predator-prey differential equations, numerically integrated with fourth-order Runge-Kutta. Adjust the growth, predation, efficiency and death-rate parameters and watch the same orbit plotted two ways: population-vs-time curves and the closed prey-vs-predator phase-plane loop. A companion to the 3D version, focused purely on the mathematical phase portrait rather than an agent-based ecosystem view.
