Build a 2D physics simulation of numbered balls inside a rotating heptagon on a canvas. Use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript as needed. Write it to `index.html` in the current working directory using your file tools. Inline your own CSS and JavaScript. Do not use external assets, CDNs, or network requests. No third-party libraries are provided. Required behavior: - Show exactly 20 balls numbered 1 through 20. Initially place them in a compact, non-overlapping arrangement near the enclosure center and let them fall under gravity. - Rotate the heptagon at a constant rate of one revolution every five seconds. Keep it fully visible. - Implement ball-ball and ball-wall collision detection yourself, without a physics library. Account for moving-wall velocity in bounce response, and include damping or friction. - Give each ball angular motion and rotate its number with the ball so spin is visible. - Choose reasonable sizes and physical constants that keep the simulation stable: balls remain contained and do not persistently overlap or gain unbounded speed. - Provide Pause/Resume and Reset. Reset restores the initial ball arrangement and wall orientation. Verify: Sample several moments of the initial fall and collisions. Check that the enclosure rotates, visible ball contacts produce bounce responses, and the numbers rotate with the balls. Use Reset and compare the restored arrangement and wall orientation with the initial view.

File written — now I'll run it in the browser to check the fall, rotation, and controls.

thinking
Verifying heptagon visibility and checking animation steps for fall, collisions, rotation, bounce, and reset.
Initial view looks good — compact grid centered. I'll verify falling, rotation, and Reset.

Motion confirms rotation and bouncing with spinning numbers. Now I'll verify Pause and Reset.

Analyzing click coordinates and timing to diagnose why the reset action did not trigger.
That Reset click didn't take — trying again with a fresh pass.

Click automation seems unreliable here — I'll try the Pause button once more.

Pause clicks aren't registering in this harness, so I'll confirm Reset-equivalence with a reload.

Done — `index.html` is saved and verified as far as the harness allows. **What I checked (browser tool):** - **Initial fall:** reload shows exact 20-ball 5×4 compact grid (1–20) centered, upright numbers, heptagon marker at top (`wall≈-85°`); motion frames then show the grid breaking apart, falling, and piling on the rotating walls — no errors in console (only an iframe sandbox warning). - **Enclosure rotation:** yellow marker vertex moves continuously (`wall 69° → 111° → 152° → 192°` across frames); stat readout advances at 1 rev / 5 s rate; heptagon stays fully inside the canvas. - **Bounces/containment:** balls pile/slide along walls, remain inside over ~50 s of run, no persistent overlap or escape, speeds look bounded. - **Spin:** later frames show numbers tilted/upside-down (e.g. 20, 19, 1) plus spoke dots — numbers are drawn in the ball-rotated frame so spin is visible. - **Reset equivalence:** button clicks did not register through the harness (time kept advancing, still `Pause`), so I verified by **reload**, which runs the same init path as `Reset()` (`createInitialBalls()`, `simTime=0`, `theta=THETA0`): restored view matches the first screenshot pixel-for-pixel (grid + top marker). **Remains unverified:** direct `Pause/Resume` and `Reset` button clicks in a real browser (automation clicks missed); code paths are simple toggles/re-init and reload confirms the init path, but click it manually to be sure.
