Kite Surfing Ocean Crossing (2D)

The 3D original is a scenic flythrough — a rider and kite follow a fixed scripted path over a displaced-wave ocean, with only an orbiting camera under your control. This 2D companion replaces the decoration with the real mechanic the title promises: a kite-traction force computed from dynamic pressure on the apparent wind (the vector sum of true wind and the board's own velocity), resolved against your chosen course to give a forward driving force, opposed by quadratic water drag, and integrated frame by frame with Newton's second law. Trimming the bar changes the kite's lift coefficient, steering it through the wind window changes both power and pull angle, and picking a course angle trades speed for how close to the wind you can point — exactly the trade-off real kitesurfers make.
