Today we'll look at the FABRIK algorithm. It's a really nice and easy to understand algorithm, easy to implement and can have a lot of uses

I've been meaning to create a little series of tutorials on some simple ways solve Inverse Kinematics.
This is a simple method by using the law of cosines to solve a two bone IK. As a P5js sketch:

I'll make more on other ways in the future!
