⛓️ 2D Chain & Rope — Verlet Dynamics (2D)

A 2D Canvas simulation of a hanging chain built from verlet-integrated point masses linked by iterative distance constraints. Drag the rope, tune gravity and stiffness, and watch it settle into a real catenary curve.

⚙ Under the hood

A 2D companion to the 3D chain simulation: a verlet-integrated point-mass chain linked together by iterative distance constraints. Drag any bead to disturb the rope, pin one or both ends, and watch it settle into a real catenary curve under adjustable gravity, stiffness, and damping.
