Simulators

Amazing Spiro Applet
The "Amazing Spiro Applet" allows its user to draw multi-layer mathematically accurate spirograph-like figures, and even allows the user to save their work! Source included!

BallDrop
Tiny balls drop to form a normal, bell-shaped distribution. Source included.

Difus
A well-done applet that simulates the motions and collisions of particles. Source included.

Encyclogram
Encyclogram draws harmonograms, spirographs, and Lissajous figures. The decaying motion of the plot fills in the shapes with their spiralling-in echo. Encyclogram can also draw the curves in varying colors against a black background.

Flozoids
This applet animates an "artificial life" algorithm, where some of the flozoids appear to fly or swim around the image.

Graph
The classic network-mapping applet from Sun Microsystems. Source included!

GravSim
GravSim is a free gravitational simulator which visually reproduces a two dimensional view of gravitational effects on celestial bodies.

LearnAndOrNot
Learn the basic logic gates by clicking the switches to turn lamps on and off!

Mandel
This applet generates the mandelbrot fractal. Click & drag to select a zoomed area. Source included!

The Mandelbrot Set
Be amazed at what the Mandelbrot fractal looks like up close... really close. Try zooming in on areas that contain two or more colors. Source included!

Mandelbrot Explorer
Explore the Mandelbrot set with this cool applet that allows you to input coordinate sets, explore pre-defined regions, or specify your own color schemes!

PatternSimulator
A simple aircraft runway approach simulation, with source included.

particleTree
This applet demonstrates how recursion and randomness can simulate natural patterns such as the branches of a tree or the paths of particulates in the air. A good applet to study for beginning programmers.

Splash
A fun little wave/ripple simulation with source.

TAMenu
TAMenu is an applet which simulates the Backpropagation Neural Network, and provides an example of a high-end scientific application of Java.

Tree
Sit back and watch this applet paint a tree. The ingredients are a type of fractal, much math, a lot of random-numbers and an anti-aliasing-algorithm. Feel free to play with the parameters embedded in the html-code!

USim
USim simulates the evolutionary development of two-dimensional artificial lifeforms.

XPL
A quite sophisticated interactive explosion generator.

Fractal Viewers

Fractal Generator
An interactive applet which displays the standard Mandelbrot Fractal and allows the user to scroll around and zoom in and out at will.

Julia
Generates a Julia Set when a complex number is chosen from an image of the Mandelbrot Set. Source included.

Mand
Navigates around the Mandelbrot fractal. Source included.

Other

GuitarCodex
A guitar applet for players of all levels. You can use it as a tablature chord dictionary and more! See chords, scales and display associated guitar chords in a graphical representation. Using the mouse, fingerings can be made by clicking on the fingerboard.
