Create and more or less intuitively manipulate simulated (looped or unlooped) strings and knots with mouse clicks.

The strings can be extended, shrunk, or pulled in many ways. They can even be joined at their ends or ripped into several pieces.

The strings are displayed as if they were flattened from 3D. Note that any knot can be displayed in this way.
