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.

The simulation is now running with the following verified behaviors: 1. **Initial Setup**: 20 balls numbered 1 through 20 are arranged in a compact grid near the center of the heptagon. 2. **Gravity**: The balls fall under gravity, as evidenced by their initial downward movement. 3. **Heptagon Rotation**: The heptagon rotates at a constant rate (one revolution every 5 seconds). 4. **Ball-Wall Collisions**: When balls collide with the rotating heptagon walls, they bounce off with appropriate velocity adjustments. 5. **Ball-Ball Collisions**: Collisions between balls are detected, and they bounce off each other with damping. 6. **Angular Motion**: Each ball has angular velocity, causing their numbers to rotate visibly. 7. **Pause/Resume**: The simulation can be paused and resumed using the "Pause" button. 8. **Reset**: The "Reset" button restores the initial arrangement of balls and resets the heptagon orientation. ### Observations and Fixes - **Visual Clarity**: The heptagon and balls are clearly visible, and the physics interactions are stable. - **No Unbounded Speed**: The damping and friction parameters ensure balls do not gain unbounded speed. - **Containment**: Balls remain inside the heptagon enclosure. ### Unverified Behaviors - **Long-Term Stability**: While the simulation appears stable for the short term, further testing over extended periods would be needed to confirm long-term stability. - **Edge Cases**: Extreme edge cases (e.g., balls stuck in corners) were not explicitly tested but appear to be handled reasonably. The simulation meets all the specified requirements. If you'd like to refine any aspect (e.g., visual styling, physics constants), let me know!
