Springs are a powerful tool for creating smooth and responsive animations.

Restrictions

Type T must support the following operations:

1. Addition (+)
   → add(T, T): T

2. Subtraction (-)
   → sub(T, T): T

3. Multiplication (×)
   → mul(T, number): T

4. Division (÷)
   → div(T, number): T

Note: This is achievable using metamethods __add, __sub, __mul, and __div for custom types.

Recommendations

1. Render loop handling is your responsibility:
   • You may keep a spring connected at all times, but this may lead to heavier computation.
   • Consider creating a SpringHandler module to manage active spring connections.
   • Disconnect unused springs to reduce unnecessary performance costs.
