Intro
to Isaac
For a real adventure, try the real Newton. Not Wayne, not Fig, but Isaac Newton, the man who invented the 20th
Century. You can see how some of Newton's laws behave with this computer program that simulates an object in space.
This computer simulation includes mass and force, but there's no gravity or friction.
Space Dock
Try a training flight with a space ship simulation.
It's not exactly NASA, Star Wars, or Starfleet Academy, but it is fun to see if you can dock a space ship without
crashing anything. You will have to use your imagination because the space ship in this program is just a dot.
But the science part is real.
Newtona
500
Ever hear of the Daytona 500 automobile race? Care to try a car on a similar racetrack where there is no friction
and no gravity? It's a lot more difficult than you might think. Removing friction means that you have to maneuver
an object in ways that you are not used to. At least not on this planet.
Hangperson
Try my version or create your own politically correct game. It's easy to modify this program to reflect your own
taste -- or the lack of it. This program uses three separate data bases that you can edit. This allows you to alter
this game by including your own list of special words or phrases to guess.
Music
Composer
For some musicians the computer is a personal instrument like a piano or violin. But can your computer actually
compose and play music all by itself? You be the judge. If you don't like my attempt to create music on a computer,
then you can become the programmer and try your own program and your own ideas.
Simon Sings
Computers are everywhere these days. From toys to toasters, the microchip is taking over. Learn how to program
your computer to simulate a computer-based game that's worth at least $10. While this is no bargain, it might be
worth a lot to you to understand how microchips are programmed.
