> Hey So I have been working on simulation of water in 2 dimensions. It is comprised of nodes that are attached by “springs” to their neighbors and to the “water level”. it works fine, but it behaves differently on either side of a perturbation. I understand why, I think the updating is working twice on the next element in line (or something like that) and is effectively causing extra drag on one side. I tried some naive solutions but nothing has worked. any input is appreciated! int num\_of\_spri…

Here is the code. lake lake; void setup() { size(400, 500); lake = new lake(); } void draw() { background(255); lake.run(); } class lake{ water surfacePoints[]; int num = width; PVector position; lake(){ surfacePoints = new water[num]; for (int i = 0; i \< surfacePoints.length; i++) { surfacePoints[i] = new water(1,0.1,0.2,new PVector(i,height/2)); } } …
