Dynamic Simulations

Written using a Semi-Autonomous Production Engine instance (SAPE), these visual simulations explore various concepts in mathematics and physics, along with some imaginative and made-up scenarios.

Render examples

• 3-body problem: Link
• Triangle escape: Link
• Ball vs. ceiling: Link

Using Processing Simulations

To use the simulations provided in this repo, follow these steps:

1. Download Processing

• Download and install Processing from processing.org.

2. Clone the Repository or Download a Specific Simulation

• Clone this repo or download a specific simulation from the simulations folder. Each simulation folder contains the necessary files.

3. Open the Simulation in Processing

• Navigate to the simulation folder and open sim.pde in Processing.

4. Running the Simulation/Rendering a Video

4A. If you want to render a video of the simulation:

• Ensure initializeRendering is set to true in sim.pde.
• Hit play in Processing to start the simulation.
• After running the simulation:
  • Navigate to the render folder.
  • Open the folder with the latest rendering session (e.g., "001").
  • Open commands.txt and copy the full rendering command.
  • Open a terminal at the root folder of the simulation and paste the command.
  • Execute the command in the terminal.
• The video will be rendered as output_final in the respective render session folder.

4B. If you do not want to render a video:

• Make sure initializeRendering is set to false in sim.pde.
• Hit play in Processing to run the simulation.
