Prompt for this run
Show 20 numbered balls (1 to 20) dropping from the center of a heptagon that spins 360 degrees every 5 seconds. The balls are affected by gravity and friction, collide with each other, and bounce realistically off the rotating walls; show each ball's spin via the rotation of its number. Implement all collision detection yourself.

**Starting File Creation** I've confirmed the directory is empty and I'm ready to create `index.html`. The physics and rendering logic will necessitate a lengthy, self-contained file as planned. **Implementing Physics Logic** I've successfully integrated the core physics, including gravity, air drag, and complex collision detection with positional correction for both ball-ball and ball-wall interactions. Spin and angular velocity are also accounted for.

**Creating the index.html** I've successfully generated the `index.html` file. It now contains the complete HTML structure for the container, heptagon SVG, and balls. The CSS is integrated for styling, and the JavaScript includes the `Ball` class with its properties and methods for physics simulation. **Refining the physics** I've been refining the physics calculations, specifically focusing on the impulse and positional correction for both ball-ball and ball-wall collisions. My latest efforts have also incorporated the ball's angular velocity and angle into the collision response, particularly for the rotating wall, and I've adjusted the angular drag for more realistic behavior.
The single-page web application, `index.html`, has been created in the current directory. It contains all the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript necessary to simulate 20 numbered balls dropping and bouncing within a spinning heptagon, complete with gravity, friction, and collision detection. To view the simulation, open the `index.html` file in a web browser.
