Build a 2D physics simulation of numbered balls inside a rotating heptagon on a canvas. Use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript as needed. Write it to `index.html` in the current working directory using your file tools. Inline your own CSS and JavaScript. Do not use external assets, CDNs, or network requests. No third-party libraries are provided. Required behavior: - Show exactly 20 balls numbered 1 through 20. Initially place them in a compact, non-overlapping arrangement near the enclosure center and let them fall under gravity. - Rotate the heptagon at a constant rate of one revolution every five seconds. Keep it fully visible. - Implement ball-ball and ball-wall collision detection yourself, without a physics library. Account for moving-wall velocity in bounce response, and include damping or friction. - Give each ball angular motion and rotate its number with the ball so spin is visible. - Choose reasonable sizes and physical constants that keep the simulation stable: balls remain contained and do not persistently overlap or gain unbounded speed. - Provide Pause/Resume and Reset. Reset restores the initial ball arrangement and wall orientation. Verify: Sample several moments of the initial fall and collisions. Check that the enclosure rotates, visible ball contacts produce bounce responses, and the numbers rotate with the balls. Use Reset and compare the restored arrangement and wall orientation with the initial view.

Created `index.html` — a fully self-contained (no external resources) 2D physics simulation: - **20 numbered balls (1–20)** start in a compact, non-overlapping 5×4 grid at the center and fall under gravity. - **Rotating heptagon** at exactly 1 revolution per 5 s, sized to stay fully inside the canvas. - **Hand-written physics** (no library): ball–ball and ball–wall collision detection/response, moving-wall velocity in wall bounces, restitution, tangential friction, air/angular damping, and speed/angular clamps for stability. Fixed 240 Hz timestep. - **Spin**: each ball has angular velocity affected by collisions; its number and a rim dot rotate with it. - **Controls**: Pause/Resume button (plus Space), Reset button (plus R) that restores the initial grid, elapsed time, collision count, and initial wall orientation (270°). Live stats show ball count, heptagon angle, elapsed time, state, and collision count. **Verified in the browser:** - Initial view: all 20 balls visible, numbered, non-overlapping near center. - Motion sampling over ~2 s (and running to ~10 s): balls fell, scattered, collided (collision counter rose into the hundreds/thousands), bounced off walls, stayed contained, and the heptagon angle advanced at the expected rate (~72°/s). - Numbers visibly rotated with their balls (e.g., upside-down numbers mid-simulation). - Pause froze the simulation with a "PAUSED" overlay and changed the button to Resume; Resume restarted it. - Reset while paused restored the exact initial grid, 270° wall angle, 0.0 s elapsed, and 0 collisions. **Not verified:** stability over very long runs (minutes+) — though speeds are clamped and damping is applied, and no escape/overlap was observed in the ~10 s observed.
