This project is an interactive 2D particle system demonstrating emergent behavior of charged particles under simplified electrostatic-like forces. The simulation:
- Visualizes how particles attract or repel based on configurable charges.
- Supports toggling between Coulomb-like 1/r² decay and linear 1/r decay.
- Implements toroidal boundary conditions (particles wrap around the edges).
- Provides a variety of tunable parameters, including force strength, inertia damping, and minimum interaction distance.
Features:
- Toroidal space: no hard edges - particles seamlessly wrap.
- Dynamic controls: adjust forces and damping live.
- Custom initialization: offset the field or randomize starting positions.
- This simulation is intended as an educational demo and a playground for experimenting with emergent patterns.
