Quick Start: Click Green Flag Start Icon. Press SPACEBAR and then press SPACEBAR again. Details: Simulates a Pendulum Wave Device. Adjust perimeter slide bars as desired. Friction = >0 Pendulums dampens over time. Friction = 0 Pendulums continue perpetually. When done click anywhere on background to create the pendulums. Then move curser to bottom edge of screen to reveal control buttons. Press left (INITIALIZE) button to start the pendulums and move curser up to hide buttons and enjoy the show. Move curser to top of screen and click on earth (PROGRESS METER) to toggle ON always or ON only when curser is at the top of the page. Earth will be in center when patterns are half done, to right edge when pattern begins to repeat itself. Click right bottom gear (SETUP) button to change parameters. PLAY, PAUSE, FF, and REW, buttons are self explanatory. Click 2nd from left clock to toggle elapsed seconds display. After clicking STOP key, need to press INITIALIZE or SETUP button to continue. Press the "L" key to toggle lists of the pendulums lengths needed to build an actual pendulum wave mechanism with the current characteristics. (Pendulum lengths in simulation are not shown to actual scale).
This is an original project by me just for fun and relaxation.
