I have just discovered the [Teilchen library](https://github.com/dennisppaul/teilchen) by dennisppaul and FlowBo.

Teilchen appears to be very useful when working with physics, particles, forces, collisions, and behaviors. It ships with a collection of examples, however, these examples don’t cover all of the library’s functions in-depth. The reference is similarly scarce on helpful info.

My question is: Has anyone got experience working with Teilchen?

Specifically, I could use some hints on how to 1) connect a group of particles to form a semi-rigid thread that other similar threads can not intersect, and 2) apply collision detection to make the threads stack on top of each other.
