Dot-Physics is an interactive particle sandbox where tiny glowing dots follow simple rules and grow into surprising patterns.

Features: • Real-time particle worlds with colourful motion • Creative Mode for custom attraction and repulsion rules • Draw Mode for painting new particles into the simulation • Touch interaction for attracting, repelling, stirring, and dropping dots • Adjustable dot count, speed, damping, radius, and point size • Relaxing ambient background music • Presets for quick experiments and beautiful patterns Dot-Physics is part visual toy, part creative sandbox, and part simple science experiment.
