Simulation of multiple particles connected mutually with springs. Made for Dan from the Coding Train. Simon’s original code with 2 particles: https://editor.p5js.org/simontiger/sketches/18ib3ZNKm Four particles: https://editor.p5js.org/simontiger/sketches/gkexoSqZZ Simon has also started building … Continue reading Particles connected with springs and Simon’s Physics Library
Simon: “The direct formula for the position of a pendulum is not what you might think”. Simon’s code for spring and graph: https://editor.p5js.org/simontiger/sketches/mWp6gQLxz Simon’s code for pendulum with directed fields: … Continue reading Science on the Balcony: Position of a Pendulum
Simon’s notes
Inspired by the Veritasium channel, Simon tests throwing a Slinky nd watching it collapse together and only then fall to the ground. He then ties a tennis ball to the … Continue reading The Slinky Experiment
The next exciting step in writing his own code about spring force: Simon actually created an interface to allow anyone to build his own shape made of springs and particles! Simon … Continue reading Spring Animation Tool (Simon’s own code)
Simon used Chapter 3 (Oscillation) of Daniel Shiffman’s book The Nature of Code as the theoretical basis for creating his own code. First, he played around with what he calls “soft springs” – … Continue reading Soft Springs (Simon’s own code)
Today Simon was watching Daniel Shiffman’s tutorials to learn about drag force and how to apply it when building a spring simulation in p5.js. Simon wrote the formula for drag force … Continue reading Oscillation and Drag Force: Spring Project.
