public abstract class AbstractSimulationDemo
extends AbstractDemo
implements Simulatable

Abstract base class for simulation demos that require playback controls. It implements Simulatable by delegating to the viewer (if applicable). Subclasses can override these methods if they manage simulation logic differently.
