An experimental web application using Matter.js physics engine to visualize and interact with thoughts as physical objects.

Check out the live demo here

Thought Bubbles is an experimental project exploring Matter.js, a JavaScript 2D physics engine. The application allows users to:

• Enter thoughts as text
• Create physical "bubbles" containing these thoughts
• Interact with the bubbles through realistic physics (throwing, bouncing, spinning)
• Experiment with cognitive defusion techniques in a visual, interactive way

This project demonstrates Matter.js capabilities while creating a unique tool for mental perspective-taking.

To run the project locally:

1. Clone this repository
2. Navigate to the docs directory
3. Start a local server:

python -m http.server 8001

4. Open http://localhost:8001/ in your browser

• Physics Engine: Matter.js for realistic 2D physics simulation
• Networking: PeerJS integration coming soon (not yet implemented)
• No Build Process: Deliberately using vanilla JS with CDN dependencies for simplicity

This project is designed to be served directly from a CDN without a build step.

• Implement PeerJS for real-time peer-to-peer interaction
• Add a build step to bundle everything for faster client downloads
• Add more interaction types beyond throwing, bouncing and spinning
