Applets

This is where i'm putting some applets.

Simulated Coin Toss.
It's amazing how many poeple refuse to believe
that a coin tossed many times leads to approximately
50% heads and 50% tails. This one's for them.

Simulated Buffon's Needle Problem.
This applet is based on a probability problem that
we've all come across at some stage or another.
A deeper explaination is available on the applet's page.

Some Fractal stuff.
After Thomas Unger's lecture on iterated function
systems , i decided to try some fractal pictures.
I used a recursive method to create a Sierpinski triangle.
There's also something similar except that it's done
with circles in a fairly different way.

Sort of random walk.
This is one of the first applets i wrote.
A red dot represents a fly. The fly's path
is determined by a few factors eg "where have i come from?"
,"where can i go?", "shall i change direction?" ,"when
should i change direction?", "is it safe?" etc.
There's a lot of random numbers being generated
and a lot of decisions being made.
Oh yeah , and i threw in a "predator" to see
how they'ed get on.
