My First Physics Simulation

an intuitive physics sandbox built on matter.js that allows you to experiment with realistic object interactions, create shapes, watch them collide, and explore dynamic effects—all in real time.

• real-time physics simulation with matter.js
• four unique colision effects:
  • bounce: enhanced elastic colisions with visual feedback
  • explode: particle-based explosions, scaled to impact force
  • stick: attractive forces between colliding objects
  • gravity shift: dynamic gravity changes upon collision
• interactive shape creation:
  • easily add cirlces, squares, and polygons
  • click anywhere on the canvas to generate random shapes
• advanced particle systems:
  • custom explosion particles with diverse behaviors
  • motion trails for fast-moving objects
  • entry and collision animations
• optimized rendering for hidpi/retina displays

built on matter.js with enhanced colision and response settings.

utilizes:

• matter.js native renderer for physics bodies
• custom canvas api for particle effects
• css animations for ui elements
  optimized with:
• adaptive pixel ratio detection for retina displays
• batch rendering for particle systems
• selective updates based on visibility

• efficient memory pooling to maintain 60 fps
• optimized particle behaviors for smooth performance

combines:

• matter.js events module for physics interactions
• dom events for user engagement
• intersectionobserver api for scroll-based triggers

• object pooling minimizes gc pauses
• selective rendering boosts performance
• sleep optimization for static bodies
• fixed timestep ensures consistent physics
• viewport-based pause/resume saves cpu when not visible

• webgl renderer for enhanced graphics
• physics constraint tool for joints/connections
• touch optimization for mobile devices
• physics presets for educational demos
• export/import system for sharing creations
