Double Pendulum
Initial Conditions

ω1 ω2 M1 M2 θ1 θ2 L1 L2

These settings define where the pendula begin the simulation. L's are the lengths of the pendula, M's their masses, θ's the angle from a downward vertical (measured in degrees, positive in the counter-clockwise direction, negative in the clockwise direction), and ω's are angular velocities (how fast each pendulum is spinning; a non-zero value would correspond to giving the pendulum a push when the simulation starts).
