The user wants me to create a single-page web app with a heptagon (7-sided polygon) that spins 360 degrees every 5 seconds. Inside this heptagon, 20 numbered balls (1-20) should drop from the center, affected by gravity and friction, collide with each other and bounce off the rotating walls. Each ball should also show its spin via rotation of its number. Let me break down the requirements: 1. Heptagon (7 sides) that rotates 360 degrees every 5 seconds 2. 20 numbered balls (1-20) dropping from center 3. Gravity and friction effects 4. Ball-to-ball collisions 5. Ball-to-wall collisions (bouncing off rotating walls) 6. Each ball's number should rotate to show the ball's spin 7. All collision detection implemented manually This is a complex physics simulation. I need to: 1. Set up canvas and animation loop 2. Create a rotating heptagon 3. Create 20 balls with positions, velocities, masses 4. Implement gravity 5. Implement friction 6. Implement ball-ball collision detection and response 7. Implement ball-wall collision detection and response (taking into account rotating walls) 8. Track ball spin and display it 9. Draw everything Let me write this as a single HTML file with inline CSS and JS. Key physics: - Gravity: acceleration downward - Friction: damping of velocity over time - Ball collisions: elastic collision with conservation of momentum - Wall collisions: reflect velocity off wall normal, account for wall rotation For the rotating heptagon: - Center at canvas center - Calculate vertices of heptagon - For each ball, check if it's outside the heptagon (collision) - Reflect velocity off the wall For ball spin: - When ball collides with wall or another ball, it gains angular momentum - Display the number rotated based on spin Let me write this now.
I'll create a complete physics simulation with a rotating heptagon and 20 bouncing numbered balls. This requires implementing collision detection, gravity, friction, and realistic bouncing physics.

EVALUATION
Only one ball labeled '1' sits static at center; no drop, spin, or physics ever occurs.

Raw readings from the capture, not a verdict — the grade above is the only judgement. Percentages are how much of the screen changed; the measure under-reports sparse motion on a dark background.
