Pendulum Sim - Small Basic Featured Program

In the September challenges, 

LitDev presented us with a...

 

Physics Challenge

• Animate a physically realistic pendulum
• Try to get its period correct for the scale length of the swing
• See here or  many other sites on this topic

 

  

Jibba Jabba rose to the challenge:

Check it out!

 

Here's the text book that Jibba Jabba used for pendulum: scroll down a bit in Ch 3:  https://natureofcode.com/book/chapter-3-oscillation/

Great resource! And what a befitting name for this book, The Nature of Code.

  

Have you seen any other Small Basic pendulum simulations? Post them in the comments!
