Rope

it’s just physics on a string. whip it anyway.

a verlet rope that follows, lags, and whips

Nothing about this rope is scripted to whip — each segment is only pulled toward the one above it and carried by its own momentum, and the crack at the tip is what falls out of that lag stacking up down the line. Slow motion gets followed almost exactly; fast motion outruns the segments until the lag catches up all at once as a snap.

Concepts: physics, motion.
