Draw a maze, set a start and goal. Watch BFS and A* expand their frontiers in real time. One exhausts every equal-cost option; the other aims straight for the goal.

Four algorithms, one array. Bubble, merge, quick, and heap sort race through the same data with every comparison and swap visible. Speed and array size are yours to adjust.

Pan and zoom the Mandelbrot set. Move the cursor over any point to see its corresponding Julia set rendered alongside. Smooth escape-time colouring, infinite depth.

Trees grow slowly. Lightning sparks occasionally. Fire spreads fast. The system self-organises to a critical state where fire sizes follow a power law — the Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld model.

A string rewriting grammar invented to model plant growth. One axiom, one rule, a few iterations — and a fern, a tree, a snowflake, or a dragon curve emerges from turtle graphics.

Particles drift at random until they touch the cluster and freeze. The result is a fractal that looks like lightning, coral, or a river delta — with no explicit rule for branching.

Draw any closed curve. A Fourier transform decomposes it into N rotating circles stacked tip to tail. Reduce N to watch the approximation degrade. Every closed shape is a sum of circles.

The butterfly. Three linked differential equations, one strange attractor. Never repeating, never escaping. Chaos mode launches six nearly identical trajectories and watches them separate.

Two hinged pendulums integrated with RK4. Deterministic physics, exquisitely sensitive to initial conditions. Chaos mode shows how tiny angle differences explode into wildly different paths.

Draw sand, water, stone, fire, and wood into a pixel grid. Simple per-cell rules produce avalanches, floods, and spreading fires.

Thousands of agents sense chemical trails, deposit their own, and diffuse the map. No central control — vein networks and transport highways grow from local sensing alone.

Four types of particles attract or repel each other by a simple rule matrix. Adjust the interactions and watch molecules, predators, and living clusters self-assemble.

Two chemicals react and diffuse at different rates. Tune feed and kill to grow coral, maze patterns, travelling waves, or mitosis-like cell division.

Daily panchangam for Kerala: nakshatra, tithi, yoga, karana, Rahukalam, and muhurta times. In English and Malayalam.

A scrollable meditation on the improbability, brevity, and strange miracle of being you — one specific person alive right now.

What does the internet do when it can't sleep? Reddit activity across 18 communities, sampled and visualized hour by hour.

Which pages has humanity rewritten the most? A scrollable analysis of edit counts, revert rates, and the articles nobody can agree on.

74 seasons, 1,100+ races. Who dominated Formula 1, when, and by how much. A comprehensive data analysis with seven charts.

Two rules on a grid produce ~10,000 steps of apparent chaos. Then, without warning, a perfect diagonal highway, forever.

Craig Reynolds' flocking model. Three local rules: separation, alignment, cohesion. They produce emergent swarm behaviour.

Wolfram's 256 elementary rules explorer. Change the rule, seed the row, adjust generations.

Conway's cellular automaton. Draw cells, load a preset, or seed randomly. Watch chaos or structure emerge.
