🧣 Verlet Integration
Verlet integration is a numerical method for stepping particle positions forward in time using only the current and previous positions plus acceleration, without explicitly storing velocity. It is prized in games and physics engines for cloth, rope and rigid-body simulation because it is simple, fast and stays numerically stable over long runs.
