Exploring Chaos
Description
Exploring Chaos is an educational game for the Apple II.
Contains a series of mini-games designed to teach students about chaos theory:
- Mosaic Madness - The player creates designs using colored tiles. The player sets the starting tile colors, and defines rules for how the sum of parallel tiles will result in offspring tile color.changes. Can have stacked or alternating rows.
- The Life Game - The player defines populations of cells and the conditions in which cells will survive or experience birth of new cells depending on the number of adjacent cells. Creates a series of patterns.
- Random Walk - A dot on the screen is given user defined probability of moving in each of 8 directions. The dot will trace a path across the screen.
- Sticky Dots - A dot will move randomly about the screen, but when it sticks to a sticky block, it will stay in that position, and a new dot will be placed on the screen. Game progresses until congealed dots reach the screen edge.
- The Chaos Game - A dot continually moves randomly half way between 3 positions on a board. Patterns arise from the dots positions.
