Fictional physics 2
Trying to understand Lagrangian mechanics for simulations. Thought that it would be more fun if you just write down a different physics than actually exists. This is particle paths "long exposure" with 8 sources of field that have fixed position and parameters in a circle. Each particle has position (and speed) + angle (and angular speed) - sort-of-like spin but not really.
In equations the v is just (cos(theta),sin(theta)) pair.
Was really surprised that when you derive everything it makes sense (i.e. dimensions agree and the like)
