Simulate a chaotic double pendulum on a canvas using the correct equations of motion, drawing the arms and a colorful fading trail of the tip.
I'll create a double pendulum simulation with realistic physics, canvas rendering, and a colorful fading trail. Let me build this step by step.

Done! I've created a single-page web app (`index.html`) that simulates a chaotic double pendulum with: **Features:** - **Accurate physics**: Uses the full equations of motion for a double pendulum, integrated with 4th-order Runge-Kutta for stability - **Colorful fading trail**: The tip of the second pendulum draws a rainbow trail that fades over time - **Interactive controls**: Adjust lengths, masses, and gravity in real-time - **Drag to set angles**: Click and drag either bob to set initial conditions - **Responsive design**: Works on desktop and mobile (touch support) **How to use:** - Open `index.html` in any modern browser - Drag the blue or pink bobs to set initial angles - Use sliders to change pendulum parameters - Click "Reset Pendulum" to restart with default angles - Watch the chaotic motion unfold! The simulation uses the standard Lagrangian mechanics equations for a double pendulum. The trail fades smoothly and changes color based on position, creating beautiful patterns that highlight the chaotic nature of the system.

RUN
EVALUATION
Smooth chaotic double pendulum with colorful fading trail; animates continuously though keyboard/mouse inputs don't add distinct controls.

MEASUREMENTS
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.
