A grid of masses linked by springs, pinned at the top. Grab any node and drag it around — it's a real Verlet cloth simulation.

Governing equation

x^{'} = 2 x - x_{p r e v} + a Δ t^{2}, ∣ p_{i} - p_{j} ∣ = 16

Reading this result: No wind, so the cloth hangs straight down from its pinned top row and settles into a smooth catenary once the motion damps out.
