A panda3d powered wave-motion particle simulator in python.
The only required library is panda3d (all other libs used are included by default in the python installer package)
In order to install it, type pip install panda in the windows command prompt, or install the SDK from the panda3d webpage
Customizable physical variables inside the code:
RIGIDCONST = 4
TIMESCALE = 0.01
FRICTIONCONST = 0.98 # speed loss coefficient
GLOBALSCALE = 3
BLOCKINTERVAL = 0.06
GLOBALMASS = 0.1 # kg USI
HOLDING_FRAME = True # this defines whether there is a stable frame holding the moving surface or not. Try turning it off to see what happens
TOGGLE_LIVE_DISPLAY = False # when switched off, the calculation process isn't rendered in 3d, and only returns a list of positions, which are transfered to the panda3d engine later, without doing the maths
PRESIMULATION_TIME = 200 # this is the amount of precomputed frames. Different computers may not need the same amount of time to read those frames, as they still need to be rendered in 3dwith their corresponding version (top left corner)

0.4 changelog: added dark mode, improved user Gui, fixed some rendering bugs, and most importantly implemented precomputing, with two-window user interface
This version is considered as stable
