Interactive controls
This is another applets with far too many controls. Many are fairly
self-explanatory, but some are not terribly useful.
Two mouse buttons are used.
If you want to play with selecting objects, shift-click adds to a selection,
and ctrl-click modifies an existing selection.
The main controls are at the bottom. Additional controls are placed at the
right hand side.
Particle size has significant effects on the dynamics of the system (see the
"inside out" initial configuration in the controls at the bottom).
- Size - controls the sizes of the both types particles;
- Speed - controls the energy/temperature of the system;
- Friction - controls how much damping is applied to the Agents;
- Gravity - sets the magnitude of the gravitational force;
- Show - configures how frequently the display is updated;
- Delay - configures how much delay occurs between frame updates;
- Eggs - controls the number of large particles;
- Egg size - controls the size of the large particles;
- Step - allows a paused automata to be single-stepped;
- Pause - allows the automata to be stopped and started;
- Clear - completely blank all the universe's cells;
- Restart - resets the system;
