Would be even better, IMO, with a line in the simulation showing the path traced by each pendulum over time, preferably the arcs drawn could phase through different colours (and possibly decay in visibility). Nice work though.


I did basically this in my first year of college! See [1].

(Note: code was never intended to be visible to the public, and this is old and bad. But hey, it works!)

Your simulation has a "Daming factor"


... Well that's an ancient typo. Corrected, thanks.


I thought the same .. though there's no decay but it's nice to see the traced path: http://jsfiddle.net/m5MZe/1/
