Hi MIF;

I could not get it to do anything. I am doing something wrong. Could you provide an example?

Hi MIF;

I have to say it took me a long time to repeat your example. Then I took a B complex 100 mg, which doubled my intellectual capacity. Got it right away after that.

Needs more examples. Looks like a really good idea. Continue developing it.

Great! If you find something interesting you can now post your model by clicking on the "share" button (not fully functional yet, but getting there).

For example: http://www.mathsisfun.com/data/chance-s … _0_2~C_2_1

Woops, the model shown doesn't go to 60, just 6.
Well I guess you're not supposed to change the value of the chance thingy.

Woops, my logic =1 and sofar boxes didn't show up!!  Maybe I didn't copy and
paste the whole thing? or a bug?

Fixed! Thanks John, I can now see what you did.

I am currently grappling with how to make it do things like "draw numbers from a bag". I am trying to have a "bucket" that things could be put into or taken out of, but it isn't really working.

It would also be nice to have "queues", so we could simulate people waiting in line at the supermarket etc. Once again I can't make it work properly.

Here's something you might enjoy!!!!

Here's a picture of
what happens when
you hit reset button and
then type a "1" into
the lower left button and
"play" it for a few
seconds.

Hmmm, very interesting, I would have thought the bottom bucket would have
kept the 33, but it went to the list silently...

The only thing that comes to my historical mind when I programmed in C, was the "static" type of number, such as a static long int, a static unsigned int, etc.  I think "static" let you set the initial value in the declarations before runtime.   But I really have no idea about Java code.  Maybe someday I'll explore it, but I don't think I have the memory to take it all in.

A "Once Only" box!

I have been thinking of ways to alter the "connections" ... what if a connection could "pull" a value. In other words it gets taken away from the box the line comes FROM.

And we could have a Queue box where the values get pushed in from the left and pulled off from the right.

So we could set up a Queue box with "-1,1" in it, and then *pull* the "1" off the Queue (leaving "-1") and send it to a Number box. And the Number box could then send it back to the Queue, making the Queue "1,-1". Round and round.

Am making some progress, but the order of calculations is posing problems ... it sometimes does things in what seem to be the "wrong" order, even though it is being very sensible. I have some ideas to work on, will let you know how I go.
