Snow Globe Settling Simulator (2D)

This 2D simulator recreates the classic snow-globe cross-section: a glass dome full of viscous liquid holding hundreds of tiny suspended flakes. Press "Shake globe" to fling every flake into motion with a random velocity, then watch them settle back down under gravity and Stokes drag — each flake's individual size sets its own terminal velocity, so larger, denser flakes sink noticeably faster than fine glitter. Raise the liquid viscosity to slow the whole snowfall to a lazy drift, or lower it for a quick clear-out, and adjust the particle count to see how a denser flurry looks. The live readout tracks how many flakes are still falling, how much time has elapsed since the last shake, and an estimate of the total settle time based on the slowest flake in the mix.
