Edit this MicroSim using the p5.js editor

Version 1

Here is the first version we created using the new OpenAI o1-mini model without the slider for speed control and not responsive.

Prompt

Create a p5.js sketch that shows a ball bouncing inside a spinning hexagon. The ball should be affected by gravity and friction, and it must bounce off the rotating walls realistically.
