Domino Toppling
Each domino is a rigid body that rotates under gravity until it strikes the next one. The collision transfers energy forward through the chain, creating a wave that can travel faster than any individual domino falls. Click to place dominos, then tip the first one and watch spacing, height, and friction shape the cascade.
