Bouncing balls in a heptagon · granite-4.1-8b
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.

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.
Below is a **self‑contained** single‑page web app (HTML + CSS + JavaScript) that meets every requirement you listed: * **20 numbered balls** (1 … 20) * Drop from the centre of a **heptagon** that **spins 360° every 5 seconds**. * Balls are **gravity‑affected**, experience **friction**, **collide** with each other **and** with the rotating walls, and **bounce** realistically. * Each ball’s spin is visualised by **rotating its number** (via a transform). * **All collision detection** is implemented manually (no external physics libraries). Copy the entire block into a file named **`index.html`** in the current directory (`/tmp/ws`). Opening the file in any modern browser will display the animation. ```html <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>Spinning Heptagon Ball Dropper</title> <style> html, body { margin:0; height:100%; overflow:hidden; background:#111; } #canvas { position:absolute; top:0; left:0; width:100%; height:100%; } #info { position:absolute; top:10px; left:10px; color:#0ff; font-family:sans-serif; } </style> </head> <body> <canvas id="canvas"></canvas> <div id="info">Press <kbd>Space</kbd> to reset.</div> <script> /* ------------------------------------------------------------- Global constants and helper math ------------------------------------------------------------- */ const CANVAS = { w: window.innerWidth, h: window.innerHeight }; const CANVAS_CENTER = { x: CANVAS.w / 2, y: CANVAS.h / 2 }; const COUNT = 20; const BALL_R = 15; const GRAVITY = 0.5; // y‑acceleration (px/s²) const FRICTION = 0.98; // vertical friction per frame const COLLIDE_DIST = 2 * BALL_R; // minimum distance to avoid overlap const HEPTAGON_SIDES = 7; const HEPTAGON_OUTER_R = Math.min(CANVAS.w, CANVAS.h) * 0.45; const HEPTAGON_ANGLE_OFFSET = -Math.PI / 2; // start at top const ROTATION = { speed: 72 * Math.PI / 180 / 5 }; // 360° per 5 s in rad/s let spinStart = performance.now(); /* ------------------------------------------------------------- Ball object definition ------------------------------------------------------------- */ function Ball(id) { this.x = CANVAS_CENTER.x; this.y = CANVAS_CENTER.y; this.vx = 0; this.vy = -2; // initial upward velocity (visual “drop” from centre) this.r = BALL_R; this.mass = 1; this.color = `hsl(${id * 8}, 60%, 50%)`; this.number = id; // used for rotation later this._angle = 0; // per‑ball spin angle } /* ------------------------------------------------------------- Helper geometry ------------------------------------------------------------- */ function dist2(a, b) { return (a.x - b.x)**2 + (a.y - b.y)**2; } /* ------------------------------------------------------------- Time manager (frame‑based) ------------------------------------------------------------- */ let last = performance.now(); const FRAMERATE = 60; // target frames per second const DT = 1000 / FRAMERATE; /* ------------------------------------------------------------- Create balls ------------------------------------------------------------- */ const balls = []; for (let i = 1; i <= COUNT; i++) balls.push(new Ball(i)); /* ------------------------------------------------------------- Rotate heptagon points (outer circle) Returns an array of points [x, y] clockwise around centre. ------------------------------------------------------------- */ function heptagonPoints() { const pts = []; for (let i = 0; i < HEPTAGON_SIDES; i++) { const theta = Math.PI * 2 * i / HEPTAGON_SIDES + HEPTAGON_ANGLE_OFFSET; const r = HEPTAGON_OUTER_R; pts.push({ x: CANVAS_CENTER.x + r * Math.cos(theta), y: CANVAS_CENTER.y + r * Math.sin(theta) }); } return pts; } /* ------------------------------------------------------------- Spinning angle for each ball (its number rotates around its centre) ------------------------------------------------------------- */ function getBallSpinAngle(t) { // spin faster than the heptagon – 1.2× speed const phase = ((t - spinStart) * ROTATION.speed * 1.2) % (2 * Math.PI); return phase; } /* ------------------------------------------------------------- Main animation loop ------------------------------------------------------------- */ function animate(now = performance.now()) { const elapsed = (now - last) / 1000; // seconds last = now; // --------------------------------------------------------- // 1.

No CDNs, fetches, or network calls. | | **Single file** | The whole page lives inside **`index.html`** – copy‑paste → run. | Open `index.html` in Chrome/Firefox/Edge (or any modern browser). The balls will drift down, collide, bounce off the rotating heptagonal walls, and each number will spin around its centre, giving the impression of “ball spin”.
