Gravity System

Central gravity pulls orbs toward the arena center, with optional oscillation for drama.

Configuration Parameters

Parameter	Description	Effect
base	Constant gravitational acceleration	Higher = compressed gameplay
ampFrac	Oscillation amplitude as fraction of base	Creates pulsing waves
periodFrames	Oscillation cycle length	Faster = more chaotic
oscillateBelowOrbs	Threshold to enable oscillation	Endgame activation

Current Configuration

Base Gravity:      0.000001 (very subtle)
Amplitude:         40% of base
Period:            40 frames (~0.33 seconds)
Activates Below:   3 orbs

Oscillation Behavior

When oscillation activates:

Time     Multiplier    Effect
────     ──────────    ──────
0%       1.0x          Normal pull
25%      1.4x          Stronger pull (peak)
50%      1.0x          Normal pull
75%      0.6x          Weaker pull (trough)
100%     1.0x          Cycle repeats

Gravity Effects on Gameplay

Gravity Level	Effect
Very low (current)	Orbits stay spread, tactical play
Low	Slight center bias
Medium	Quick center engagements
High	Chaotic center collisions

Sudden Death Gravity

During sudden death, gravity multiplies dramatically.

See Sudden Death for details.
