Glass Aquarium Burst Simulation

Drag to position the crack, then trigger the failure. Watch physics unfold.

Status: Idle - Drag vertically on the right glass panel to set crack height

Instructions

  • Drag vertically on the right glass panel to set crack height.
  • Click Create Crack to visualize the crack without bursting.
  • Click Start Burst to initiate the glass failure and water flow.
  • Watch water escape with a curved jet, spreading puddle, and object reactions.
  • Fish swim against current before being swept out.
  • Glass fragments interact with water resistance and collisions.
  • Waterline lowers continuously as tank drains.

Simulation uses 2D physics with particle systems and rigid body dynamics. All rendering done in real-time with JavaScript.
