An enhanced version of the popular game "Snake." You must download the executable plus the zipped sound and image files into the same directory. Use the arrow keys to navigate. The game becomes more difficult as you play.


Darryl's Segregation

An enhanced version of Shelling's segration model. The bitmap must also be downloaded and imported. Cyan, magenta and yellow represent affluent, middle class and poor individuals move in relation to their preferences for one another and for the areas designated as red, green and blue (industrial, public and commercial land) in the bitmap.


Sunmin's Oxygen Transport

A clockwise flow of blood cells represented as individual agents are visualized in their circulation through various tissues.


Elizabeth's, Elizabeth's and Sepideh's Sexual vs. Natural Selection

A study of sexual selection of peacocks under the influence of lion predation. Based upon a cellular automata model, the changes in population of various individuals can be tracked through time.


Elizabeth's, Elizabeth's and Sepideh's Peocock and Lion

The lion alternatively approaches and avoids the peacock. Mouse-down on either one to move them. Double-click on either one to hear its voice. The zipped sound files must be in the same folder as the executable.


Adam's Visual Harmony

You must download one or more images and then import them into the application. In the original presentation, an analog to digital converter and three infrared rangefiners were used to regulate the changes in the red, blue and green color primaries of the image. You can approximate the effect by sliding the appropriate trackbars.
