Applications

I occasionally write programs now and make some nice applications. Most of these will be available right here! These have been made in the DOS mode, so they might not be so good, but whenever I have a sound knowledge of Java, I will make them in Java to allow it to run cross-platform. It will even make them look neater and will be easier to operate. Thanks for your consideration.

1. Conway’s Game of Life
   British mathematician, John Horton Conway created a zero-player game in 1970 called Game of Life, or simply Life. There is no role of the user in this game. There are some pre-defined initial states of the world. Every square represents a person. Through different stages of the game, people die due to lack of neighbours or crowding, some people live-on and new ones are born all depending on how many alive neighbours they have. These people can be used to represent cells and create different patterns, such as a slider, a gun, oscillator and lots more. Some states might be stable so that even after any number of “genereations”the “world” will not change, as all cells have just the right amount of neighbours o sustain themselves and none are isolated or crowded, and no more cells can be born. Watching the generations pass with different initial worlds leads to a host of different patterns. It might even be so that all the cells die and the world perishes; or maybe that it reaches a state where the total number of alive cells remains constant but they keep changing the positions, or rather, oscillate about certain cells.
   Here, I have included few initial worlds. If you have any new initial worlds to suggest, please do so here.
   
   
2. Tic-Tac-Toe Well, this is one of the best applications I have ever made. A very simple user interface and even has one-player or two-player game option. When you are playing one player, it is not sure that the computer will win or draw; I have left some loopholes in its judgement to make it possible to win… I do not think I need to explain this very simple game we all used to play in between boring classes in school… lol
   
   
3. Polynomial Graphing
   Well, here you just enter the degree of a polynomial, and the co-efficients of different terms of x, and the app will plot its values rounded-off to nearest integers. This is one of those that seriously need to involve graphics and lots of other tools. I will try my best to update it as soon as possible.
   
   
4. Circle Graphing
   Similar to the Polynomial Graphing tool above, this takes the co-efficients of different terms in the standard equation of the circle and plots the point as integer co-ordinates. Gives a fair idea of the circle though...
