Every substep advances by the whole frame length · case 03

Frames split into several substeps advance simulated time by a multiple of dt.

Case contract

solve(x0, v0, k, m, c, dt, steps): damped spring a=(-k*x-c*v)/m integrated with semi-implicit Euler (velocity first, then position with the new velocity). Each frame of length dt is split into ceil(dt/0.05) equal substeps (at least one). Return [x, v] rounded to 6 decimals after steps frames.

Why this case matters

Game and robotics physics loops depend on integrator update order, step control and stabilization terms; a wrong decision point turns a stable simulation into drifting or exploding motion.
