logmap 1.0

instructions: when it starts, you can press "d" to delete all of the list data. then you can draw a shape. when you are done, press space, and the project draws it into a distorted, logarithmic perspective.

Lenses 1.3

**FIXED GLITCH W/ VARIABLES UPDATE: draws path of light beam PREVIOUS: 0.1: you can drag the lines and dots. 0.2: It draws the curvature of the first side. 1.0: draws the entire outline. 1.1: Get Lens function: sets the lens settings (cannot change) 1.2: displays light particle and goes to first edge. ABOUT LONG-TERM GOAL: eventually I want to have it draw the lens (with -80 - 80 meaning infinite and the radii values defining the curvatures), have a system for finding the direction of the normal for any point on the edge, use laws of refraction to bend any light ray inwards, and then outwards, and project it inwards to demonstrate the way that a lens works and how it curves light. maybe eventually be able to mathematically define the focal point, the kind of lens, have input protection, and other things. please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens_%28optics%29

Random Martian Soil generator test 2

direction over x position family grapher

press the up and down arrow keys, slowly move your mouse, and press "c" to move the directional pointer sprite vertically, draw the graph of the function of the directional values over the x position of the item it is pointing at, and clear the screen. this visualizes the relationship between x position and direction.

Lenses 0.1

just have some of the interface for defining the curvature of the two ends. doesn't draw the actual shape yet. eventually I want to have it draw the lens (with 0 meaning infinite and the radii values defining the curvatures), have a system for finding the direction of the normal for any point on the edge, use laws of refraction to bend any light ray inwards, and then outwards, and project it inwards to demonstrate the way that a lens works and how it curves light. maybe eventually be able to mathematically define the focal point, the kind of lens, have input protection, and other things. please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens_%28optics%29

Random Martian Soil generator test

gravity field of a solid sphere 2

generates a view of the gravitational field from a uniform density, solid sphere (planet). Specially featured is the

gravity field of a solid sphere 1

TEST

this is a big test. I have worked awhile on this.

MusicBox 2.1

DOWNLOAD for the notes to sound This is a simulation of a music box. Click the Green Flag to reset or start. press space to "rotate" the "central steel cylinder" which has the notes as "bumps on the surface" (aka move the red dots down). when the "steel bars" (the long gray sprites) are "plucked" by the "raised bumps" and are then "released" (the end touches a red dot and then doesn't touch it), it "vibrates" to make a sound. each bar has a different frequency. different arrangements of the red dots can create nice sounds. press "d" to sort through different "tunes". To be completed later (or sooner): ADD MORE BARS, Make a full song, make it look more like a real music box? INSPIRED by my music box, with the song "somewhere over the rainbow". I have been fascinated by the mechanics of it, and really like making this realistic simulation. This is where I have fixed the glitch, and found that the notes were in the wrong order.
