A physically-accurate, graphics-based simulation of the natural phenomenon known as a pendulum wave.
A pendulum wave consists of a series of carefully chosen pendulums of specific lengths that experience a certain number of oscillations per second to create a periodic wavelike pattern. More information on the topic can be found at https://sciencedemonstrations.fas.harvard.edu/presentations/pendulum-waves.
This program was created for a final project in a calculus-based physics class.
space - Starts (or restarts) the simulation.
v - Displays velocity vectors for each pendulum, if they are not already displayed.
s - Hides the strings for each pendulum, if they are already displayed.
b - Hides the bobs for each pendulum, if they are already displayed.
s - Hides the text overlay, if not already hidden.
c - Displays an incorrect model of a pendulum wave, if not already displayed.
This program requires a working version of Processing 3.5.3 or later (Java version), which can be downloaded from https://processing.org/download/. Note that window dimensions are hardcoded, and may not display properly on machines with screen dimensions below 1080p.
