Spinning Top

A top spins fast and stable, then wobbles more as it loses energy — watch the glowing trail and the automatic re-spin. The tilt/nutation, precession and "walking" contact drift are all driven analytically from the current spin rate rather than a full rigid-body solver, giving classic gyroscopic behaviour cheaply.

• Initial spin: 46 rad/s, decays toward 2.2 rad/s
• Precession speeds up 1.6 → 12 rad/s as it slows
• Auto re-spin every 15-25s (or on near-stall)
• 140-sprite additive glow trail, tinted by wobble
