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.

**Planning a lab dashboard** I need to implement a high-quality dark lab dashboard. The canvas should fit to about 800x650, with sidebar controls for stats. For physics, I'll set a fixed timestep at 1/240 and consider how to handle wall velocities and corrections for collisions. I'll use a gravity of 650 px/s² and normalize the coordinates on the canvas while focusing on visual implementations with a responsive design. I think I'll create a grid for initial positions as well!**Resetting the simulation** I need to reset the initial render to zero and then start the simulation, considering whether a reset restores everything. For the seeded ball spin, I'll have all the numbers upright at the beginning, though I'll vary the angular velocities. I'll also need to think about wall movement and friction as elements that affect the simulation's behavior. It's important to get these initial conditions right for a smooth experience!

**Adjusting canvas dimensions** I'm noticing an issue with the canvas's dimensions being distorted due to its width and height. To fix the visible ellipses, I need to preserve the aspect ratio by using CSS properties like `object-fit: contain`. However, the actual drawn content might still get stretched. I think better CSS would be `width: auto; height: 100%; max-width: 100%; object-fit: contain;`. I'm also aware of a conflict with heights on smaller widths that might need further testing. Plus, some elements are getting cutoff at the bottom of the viewport.

**Reviewing resume motion** I think I need to check the resume to ensure it's in good shape before moving forward. It’s important to look over the initial fall motion aspect as well; after all, making sure everything flows correctly can be crucial. I want to avoid any hiccups, so a thorough review is necessary! I’ll take a moment to give it all the attention it deserves, checking for clarity and effectiveness in presentation.

**Clarifying simulation stages** I need to finalize a concise overview that includes both checked and unchecked long-term elements. It seems there’s a minor issue with the live stage label when the simulation is paused; the text remains unchanged. This could create inconsistencies. I’m wondering if it’s necessary to change the stage span ID and set, but maybe just fixing the inconsistency is enough. I should consider adding a stage label ID and make the text dynamic through edits.

Created `index.html`. Checked the initial fall, rotating enclosure, collisions, ball spin, Pause/Resume, and Reset. The browser console showed no errors. Long-term stability was not exhaustively tested.
