Autumn Forest 2D: Wind-Driven Leaf Fall Simulator

2D side-view autumn forest: wind strength, leaf density and season sliders drive a canopy of trees shedding leaves that sway, drift and pile up on the ground in real time.

ControlsA wind-strength slider (0-1.5) sets the ambient breeze; a leaf fall-speed slider (0.3x-2.5x) scales descent rate; a leaf-density slider (50-600) sets how many leaves are aloft at once; a pause-wind toggle freezes the ambient breeze; a season button cycles autumn/winter/spring palettes; clicking the canvas fires a decaying wind gust.

This is the flat, side-view companion to the 3D autumn forest simulator: the same per-leaf model of gravity, ambient wind, gust impulses and sway is solved and drawn as a 2D canvas scene instead of a navigable 3D world. Adjust the wind strength, leaf fall speed and leaf density sliders, click the canvas to send a gust, and cycle through autumn, winter and spring to see how the palette and ground cover change while the underlying particle motion stays the same.
