Filum is a real-time cloth and thread simulation where draping fabric emerges from one tiny rule applied across a grid of connected sticks. It uses Verlet integration, where velocity is implied by the difference between current and previous position, combined with iterative distance-constraint relaxation to hold the cloth together. It is a from-scratch, dependency-light build with 6 tests on the pure physics that you can download and run locally.
