This simple mechanical system was one of my first coding projects when learning about physics simulations. It's basically a frictionless, gravity-free rigid pendulum that gets periodic kicks of fixed strength and direction. The phase space shows interesting patterns that are observed in multiple applications of chaos theory.

Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback, hope you like it!

PS I'm honestly blown away by how smooth is making webapps these days thanks to LLMs helping with all the web stack.
