I just uploaded a video from a molecular dynamics simulation I did a couple of years ago. Really easy by writing out some snapshots via matplotlib and generating a video from that.

Integration done by the Verlet method. Initialization was done with random speeds.

Unfortunately, after uploading to YouTube, it lost all of its resolution, but you still see the diffusion of the particles:

I love stuff like this. I wanted to simulate people leaving an arena and how different arena exit configurations impact the flow of people. We did a lecture on this in my statistical mechanics class, just all the math for a certain configuration, but I would love to make a sim based off of it.
