Same animation as before. I coded it from scratch, and... it came out
differently. I suspect what I've done is set the magnet coordinates
differently or given then a slightly different strength or something,
resulting in a different image.
The animation I got the first time round was *very* noisy. I did wonder
if it was to do with the precition of the numbers in the save file. But
I recorded to not use one, and it still looked the same.
...then I changed the time step, and all the artifacts got smaller.
The movie you're seeing has 25 fps, but computes 8 steps per frame for
the physics simulation. Anything less than that and you see "waves"
round the sides - and sparkling noisy areas exactly between the magnets.
(IOW, where the system is most unstable!) The whole thing uses Euler's
method; I really must learn about RK4 sometime...
