Score: 5.5/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 5, Documentation: 8, Utility: 3)
A TypeScript-based interactive physics simulation exploring the 'portal paradox' through 19 incremental scenarios, each demonstrating how portal mechanics affect a cube's motion. The project builds a compelling argument for the 'launched out' answer by showing continuity of velocity and highlighting unphysical jumps. It's an interesting educational tool for physics and game mechanics enthusiasts.
Target audience: game developers, physics enthusiasts, educators
