fabulous
great port of a great app.
it's a bit hard to control on the iphone's little screen.
wave mechanics ftw !
Love it - so many uses ! Please read
Would there be a way to incorporate magnetic charges & gravity fields into such an app. Essentially a hybrid of another amazing app called electrons or one called ions - as we need more "workshop" types of apps that could allow us to really experiment in a "virtual lab" as there is a vacuum of apps like the one you created which gives us a kind of sandbox to experiment with scientific concepts. Plus adding more features as mentioned above would almost be a necessity as so many of these scientific concepts overlap. We need a sandbox lab app that would allow us explore these concepts in a fun way such as how you made this app. The kind of app you made is exactly what people want - a place to experiment and unleash their creativity and learn at the same time. I'm so glad I found this app. I just wish the above could be added.
great
The criticism that the graphics is terrible is not justified. This is a real physics simulation, with each pixel's evolution depending on its neighbors every time step. You are seeing the simulation with space broken up into bite sized pieces, as befits a computer algorithm. What you see is what is happening in the algorithm.
I do wish there was an option to use more pixels, as there is on the web version in Java, but it is true that would slow things down.
