Slinky Physics

Watch a spring slinky walk downstairs with realistic coil physics — grab it, stretch it, let it go

How it works
Each coil is a point mass connected by spring forces. Gravity pulls down, springs pull neighbors together. The result: the bottom of the slinky stays still while the top collapses, then the whole thing walks down.

Controls
Drag any coil to pull the slinky
Drop — release from current position
Stairs — add/remove staircase
Coils — number of spring segments
Stiffness — spring constant
