Spinning Hexagon Bouncing Balls

A Pygame physics simulation of multiple balls in a rotating hexagon

Description

This Python simulation features 20 balls of varying sizes and masses reacting to gravity and friction within a continuously spinning hexagon. It demonstrates complex elastic collisions between the balls themselves and the rotating boundaries of the container.
