Simulations in the Browser

Guiding Principles:

Vizualizations are good; experiments are better!
Part of the web experience: no downloading and installing applications.
An educational package, not a random curiosity.
Platform independant.

Disadvantages:

At the mercy of browser implemented java.
At the mercy of my dubious java skills.
Can run sloooowwww on slower machines.
