Sample MicroSims
In this section we demonstrate some sample MicroSims. We selected them to range from simple to more complex and we also used different back-end Javascript libraries.
Bouncing Ball
This is our "Hello World!" program for a MicroSims. It shows a
blue ball that bounces around within a drawingArea. A single
horizontal slider allows you to adjust the speed of the ball.
Note that the simulation adapts to changes in screen width.
Pythagorean Theorem
Our first Educational MicroSim shows a visualization of the Pythagorean Theorem. The initial display shows a simple right triangle where the user can adjust the length of two sides of a right triangle. By checking the

Sine and Cosine
Least Squares
Tragedy of the Commons
Image Convolution
Sound Frequency Response
Read the sound from the computer microphone and display a chart of the frequency
Graph Search
Show the difference between breath-first search in a graph and depth-first search.
