🪢 Rope Physics — Verlet Chain Simulation (2D)

A 2D Canvas rope and chain simulation using Verlet integration and iterative distance-constraint relaxation. Drag the pinned ends, cut the rope with a click, and tune segment count, gravity, and solver iterations in real time.

⚙ Under the hood

A 2D Canvas rope and chain simulation built from point masses connected by real Verlet-integrated distance constraints. Drag either pinned end to swing the rope, click a link to cut it, and tune segment count, gravity, and solver iterations to see how stiffness and stretch change in real time.
