Very cool project. I love complexity Theory. When I grow up I will go to Santa Fe Institude;=>Your slider does not slide on the web. You need to cover it with a neutral sprite then uncover it. The show and hide does not work properly for variables;=<
Thanks! Hmm.. this doesn't have a slider in it. Maybe you are thinking of the older version of this project? Variables work ok on my computer, but maybe I should try it on another..
Thanks :) That's a good idea. It would take a fair amount of work to explain the concepts of bifurcations and attractors. I think the next version I make will just have the functionality at the end of this one. But please feel free to remix and improve on this if you so desire! And if you do, be sure to let me know!
This is a simple mathematical equation to model population that displays complex (and very gnarly) behavior.
Good values of rateofGrowth to demonstrate sensitive dependence: Time step 5, turn off erase previous and run the following values: 3.8000000 3.8000001 3.8000002 3.8000003 etc. if you want.
Good values to demonstrate attractors: point: 2.9 periodic:3.2 Strange: 3.9

A very nice presentation!
Thanks!

(view all replies)lightnin, i really wanna be a curator. plz tell me how. i wanna help make scratch better. plz?
Hi Maroon. The best way to become curator is to be a friendly and helpful member of the Scratch Community. So just keep hanging out and helping out!
(view all replies)Very nicely done. You plotted the time series graph. Should you connect those graphs with the opening plot?
