Hello all,

Most know I've been busy hammering down lots of stuff about computation. Pretty soon that'll be done, but to keep your whistles wet I'm posting a beefier splay of demos that examine the do's and dont's when it comes to setting up iterative equations. The program itself is dead-simple really. Most of you have already done something like what you see here.

Particle in r^-1 central potential
This applies to two-body problems in gravity or other 1/r^2 forces like electricity. There are a few boring modes, with the exciting case being (c). In the bottom-right graph, the blue ellipse is what a real planet would do, and the simulation accurately puts the sun at a focus of the ellipse (not the center).

Particle in r^-2 central potential
What if the force of gravity was different, like 1/r^3 instead of 1/r^2? Well, you'd never have been born, because orbits don't exist, so you'd have no planet. Here we show a planet trying to orbit, but it flies off into space anyway. It remains circular a while, but there's no sweet spot you can find - even on paper. (I mean analytically.)

Mass on a spring
This is a dead-simple pair of demos that show the pitfalls of Euler's method. You can crank dt way down to hide the effect.

Two equal masses connected by three springs
This one is cool. Run mode (c).

Pendulum
The remaining modes are all about the pendulum. Option 8 refers to what is for called the "Modified Euler" method (which will be, for that problem at least, a synonym for "symplectic" later.) This is what Qwerkey did. The near-critical cases are cool to watch.

Code: QB64: [Select]
  1. CONST Black = _RGB32(0, 0, 0)
  2. CONST Blue = _RGB32(0, 0, 255)
  3. CONST Gray = _RGB32(128, 128, 128)
  4. CONST Green = _RGB32(0, 128, 0)
  5. CONST Red = _RGB32(255, 0, 0)
  6. CONST White = _RGB32(255, 255, 255)
  7. CONST Yellow = _RGB32(255, 255, 0)

You're not done when it works, you're done when it's right.
