You write simulations where the interesting behavior is supposed to emerge rather than be animated by hand.
Build me a single HTML page: a side-view escalator carrying 15 to 20 people. Then the escalator reverses, at high speed.
The build
- Side view. 15 to 20 figures standing on the steps, riding normally before anything goes wrong.
- A control I can press to throw it into reverse, and press again to put it back. Reversal happens fast enough to take everyone off their feet.
- What follows comes out of the simulation. People stumble, collide, slide, and pile up against each other; a figure that is down is an obstacle to the ones arriving behind it.
- Figures get up again when they have the room and the footing.
- No scripted disaster. No keyframed pile, no timeline, no figure that falls because the clock said so. Every figure runs the same rules. If you special-case anything, say so in the notes.
- The art is yours. Stick figures are fine if they move well.
House rules
- One file. Everything inline — no CDN, no external stylesheet, font, script or image.
data:URIs are fine. - No libraries. No physics engine — write your own.
- No network at runtime.
- No
localStorage,sessionStorage, cookies orindexedDB— sandboxed frame, they throw. - Return the file as exactly one fenced
htmlblock.
Answer in exactly these sections
The model
One paragraph, before the file: how a person is represented, what makes one lose balance, and what happens when two of them occupy the same place.
The page
The single fenced html block.
What it actually does
Having written it, what does the page do when the escalator reverses? Name anything you special-cased or nudged. Say what it does badly — I am going to press the button and watch.
assistant
The model
A person is a dynamic circle with position, velocity, orientation, and a state (standing, falling, down). While standing, the figure is kinematically braced to the moving escalator surface: it rides the step and leans away from acceleration. If the escalator’s acceleration along the incline pushes that lean past a fixed threshold, the figure loses balance and becomes a free-falling circle under gravity. When two figures occupy the same place, their circles resolve overlap by pushing apart along the collision normal and exchanging a damped impulse with friction, so a downed figure acts as a solid obstacle that others slide into or trip over. A downed figure stands up again only when the escalator is slow enough, it has stopped sliding, and no one is crowding its personal space.

What it actually does
Pressing REVERSE accelerates the escalator from a gentle upward crawl to a fast downward run. The sudden acceleration throws every standing figure past its lean threshold at roughly the same moment, so they tumble almost together—but each one falls because of its own acceleration, not because a timer told it to. Falling figures slide down the incline, collide with one another, and knock over anyone still braced on the steps. Downed figures lie on the surface and become obstacles, so arriving figures pile up against them at the bottom of the run. Pressing REVERSE again restores normal speed; once the escalator is slow enough and a downed figure has room, it stands up and snaps back to the surface.
Special-casing / nudges: the escalator physics uses a single continuous inclined surface while the steps are drawn as decoration on top; standing figures are kinematically snapped to that surface each frame (they are braced, not fully dynamic); figures that travel past the top or bottom end are respawned at a random position so the simulation never empties; and every figure uses the same balance threshold—no individual is scripted to fall.
What it does badly: standing figures are effectively immovable until they lose balance, so a falling person cannot shove a standing person over except through a weak overlap pass; because steps are decorative, falling figures can clip through step geometry visually; respawned figures teleport, which can look abrupt; and pile-ups are just circles stacking, so they sometimes look like a soft blob rather than a tangled crowd.
