Release Notes

v1.0.0 - Initial Release

Release Date: January 3, 2026

Summary

First public release of Spring Mass Simulation, a real-time physics visualization tool built with C and Raylib.

Downloads

Platform File Size Requirements
Linux spring_simulation ~16 KB GNU Linux
Windows (64-bit) spring_simulation.exe ~2 MB Windows 10/11
Source Code Source code (zip) ~50 KB C compiler, Raylib
Source Code Source code (tar.gz) ~50 KB C compiler, Raylib

Features

Core Functionality

  • Real-time spring visualization with dynamic coil deformation
  • Zigzag spring pattern using perpendicular vector calculations
  • 120 FPS smooth animation
  • Automatic mass motion demonstration

Visualization

  • White zigzag spring connecting anchor to mass
  • Green rectangular mass block
  • Gray floor surface
  • Real-time FPS counter
  • Title display

Technical

  • Cross-platform source code (Windows, Linux, macOS)
  • Static linking for Windows executable (no dependencies)
  • Configurable simulation parameters
  • Clean, documented codebase

Installation

Windows Users

  1. Download spring_simulation.exe
  2. Double-click to run
  3. Close window to exit

No installation or additional software required.

Building from Source

Linux:

gcc spring.c -o spring_simulation -lraylib -lGL -lm -lpthread -ldl -lrt -lX11
./spring_simulation

macOS:

gcc spring.c -o spring_simulation -lraylib -framework Cocoa -framework IOKit -framework OpenGL
./spring_simulation

Windows (MinGW):

gcc spring.c -o spring_simulation.exe -lraylib -lopengl32 -lgdi32 -lwinmm
spring_simulation.exe

System Requirements

Minimum

  • OS: Windows 10, Linux (kernel 4.x+), macOS 10.13+
  • CPU: x86_64 processor
  • RAM: 64 MB
  • GPU: OpenGL 3.3 compatible
  • Storage: 5 MB

Recommended

  • OS: Windows 11, Ubuntu 22.04+, macOS 12+
  • CPU: Multi-core processor
