Can you make it so the menu hides on mobile devices please? From what I can see this is amazing!

Tap the spider icon in the corner to hide the menu

Ah I thought that was some kind of extra options. Appreciate the tip!

Wish this had support for multitouch. Great work otherwise!

hey claude add multitouch support and make no mistakes

why is it in mandarin now?

If you start scrolling you lose the menu button and can't scroll back up until you reload. Android 16, newest chrome

Note: seems to work now? PEBCAP

Interesting. I'm currently building a CAD tool for inflatable structures. Think Solvespace but with extrusions replaced with face stitching and inflation. It's still a work in a progress, it's most likely useless, but it's a lot of fun.

That puff in the torus is just about right!

Unfortunately this is cloth so it's computationally demanding and I have since then lost what made this animation so satisfying (still iterating on it though!).

I managed to obtain more terrific assembly animations

and looking at it I think I need to start recording myself producing suctions sounds in sync with the inflation process whenever I click on the 'Inflate' button. So that when I have enough data, I can train a neuralnet to produce those sounds. That would be pretty awesome.

Tangential, for static site like this, why do people choose to host on vercel instead of github page?

Now I'm curious, is there a state-of-the-art demo of realistic cloth/fabric? This looks cool, but it seems "frictionless" or something, it keeps moving forever after I touch it. It also seems to intersect itself or something.

Two Minute Papers often post info on some cloth papers: https://www.youtube.com/@TwoMinutePapers/videos

Here's just one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wibbnn3hV4U

One reason would be that Vercel does the build process, whereas Github pages (afaik) would require you to commit the dist dir

Looks like the collision detection is missing and the cloth just intersects itself?

Yeah, I had the same problem after I started twirling and twirling it. Got bunched up and then I just thought, well pull it back straight, till I couldn't. But really nice effects. What else were you thinking of doing with it. It is almost addictive. Make an interesting game out of it and you have something real then.
