Mesh of Springs

Code: https://github.com/neigerk/CS491-Projects/blob/main/MeshOfSprings.cpp

I programmed a mesh of springs.  It is made up of a series of nodes, connected by springs.

Variables:

• Mass: The mass of the nodes.  The higher the mass, the more the springs will be stretched
• Spring Constant:  Changes the strength of the springs.  The higher the spring constant, the tighter the nodes are pulled.
• Damping:  This is the nodes' resistance to movement.  The higher the damping the longer it will take for the nodes to move into place when the mesh is moved.
• Gravity: Changes the pull of gravity.  Earth gravity is -9.8 m/s.  Increasing the gravity will weaken it, and eventually make it positive, causing the mesh to fall upwards.
