Inverted pendulum
A pole balanced on a moving cart — the classic control theory problem. Use the arrow keys to push the cart manually, or let a PID controller try to keep the pole upright. Tune the gains and watch the system stabilize, oscillate, or collapse.

Phase portrait
Angle (θ) vs angular velocity (ω). The pendulum traces a trajectory in phase space. Stable balancing appears as a small cluster near the origin.
