It's broken! Now when I boing it, it goes totally wild instead of behaving as expected. Did somebody hack it?

there are very specific starting points that do go wild - but it should mostly not show you those (and I should add some protection for it) try reloading again?

Very fun and nostalgic. The head of the boinger doesn't seem to exactly follow the cursor/finger however, at least on mobile, it always arcs.

Are you seeing the small dotted lines when pulling very far? It's meant to show the applied tension

I see it now, I was using the Dark Reader extension which covered it up, looks good now.

Love this. Had to cheat, naturally. setInterval(()=>{const canvas=document.getElementById('canvas');const startX=266;const startY=198;const rect=canvas.getBoundingClientRect();const startClientX=rect.left+startX;const startClientY=rect.top+startY;let endClientX,endClientY,distance;do{endClientX=Math.random()*window.innerWidth;endClientY=Math.random()*window.innerHeight;const dx=endClientX-startClientX;const dy=endCli…

Humanity could be busy with silly, amazing stuff like this, but we playin'…

That already was the case; no sound

Just downloaded Firefox on iOS and tested it and sound works here - can you check this other site please: https://learningsynths.ableton.com/ ? There will also be no sound there if your phone is in Silence mode. However if Learning Synths works but not mine, then something else is happening. Thanks!

Probably because I have Lockdown mode enabled, and/or NextDNS

Funny thing: this feels "realistic" because it’s not perfect physics. A perfectly simulated Hooke's law spring actually looks fake and too stiff. But if you let the animation wobble a bit more and slow down the damping, our brain reads it as weight and squishiness. It’s basically controlled sloppiness.

> this feels "realistic" because it’s not perfect physics. A perfectly simulated Hooke's law spring Confused. Perfect physics means perfectly simulating reality, not perfectly simulating an unreal idealized formula. Are you saying Hooke's law doesn't feel realistic or are you saying a simulator for a realistic spring doesn't feel realistic?

I think they mean that "ideal" springs don't feel realistic (because they aren't).
