A SceneryStack port of the PhET Ladybug Motion 2D simulation. Explore 2D motion, position, velocity, and acceleration by dragging the ladybug or choosing automated motion paths.
- Single-screen 2D kinematics in a circular play area
- Drag the ladybug directly, or use the Remote Control pad to set position, velocity, or acceleration
- Motion presets: manual, linear, circular, and elliptical paths
- Toggle velocity and acceleration vectors; trace the path as a line, dots, or off
- Record and replay motion with a timeline seek bar
- Default and projector color profiles
- English, Spanish, and French localization
- Progressive Web App with GitHub Pages deployment via GitHub Actions
