This program was created as a teaching assistant for teachers who are trying to show students how pendulums undergo simple harmonic motion. This can accurately display the pendulum in motion and the program will also draw a graph according to the velocity and acceleration, which is useful for comparing the two values to each other.
- S Control whether the system is running or stopped
- R Resets the values of the pendulum to restart the system
- <-- Moves the drawn graph along its own axis to the left
- --> Moves the drawn graph along its own axis to the right

If the computer in use fails to meet these required specifications the program may struggle to open and/or run. Without these requirements you may experience a significant drop in the programs frame rate and because the program uses values directly from the computer the program may display inaccurate results, for the pendulum and the drawn graph.
