About

verlet-js a simple Verlet integration physics engine written in javascript by Sub Protocol. Verlet is pronounced 'ver-ley'.

Examples

1. Shapes (Hello world)
2. Fractal Trees
3. Cloth
4. Spiderweb

Features

The following is the entity hierarchy used within verlet-js:

• Simulation: Root object that holds composite entities and drives all physics and animation within a scene.
• Composites: A high level object used within the scene (ball, bridge, cloth, etc..)
• Particles: Just a point in space that responds to gravity.
• Constraints: Links particles together so they can interact with each other.
  1. Pin: Binds a particle to a static/fixes position in space.
  2. Distance: Binds two particles together by a fixed linear distance.
  3. Angle: Binds 3 particles to each other by an acute angle.

License

You may use verlet-js under the terms of the very permissive MIT License.
