Yes, this is excellent. People with slower connections don't like "swoopy" sites, but this shows how "swoopy" is NOT synonymous with frivolous graphics, as here we're animating interesting math-related ideas dynamically, with the powerful Flash 5 package. Inspired by the Lorentz Attractor demo, I adapted the code (with source cited/credited) to work with my pre-existing coords.py and povray.py modules (freely downloadable and used extensively at my math-through-programming teaching site). Here's the URL, with the resulting graphic up top (nothing stunning): http://www.inetarena.com/~pdx4d/ocn/lorentz.html Gratifying to get something visual with so little code, as with the fractal obtained earlier (linked in the 'For Further Reading' section at bottom). Thanks again, Jason -- you're good at mining the web, a fine art in itself. Kirby Curriculum writer Oregon Curriculum Network & Oregon-Tips Python Curriculum
[I have posted this information to comp.lang.python and also to the analogous Perl newsgroup. Sorry for the repetition if you follow both groups but I was told that the information should also go to this list.] By the way, I have just started teaching Python to students in a middle school computer club. It's going very well. Having done a similar thing for Perl over the past several years, I decided to try to do it for Python. I have put my perl handouts for the middle school kids up on my web site: http://home.mindspring.com/~djrassoc01/ After I have had a chance to classroom test and refine my Python handouts, it is likely that they will show up there as well. -- Dr. David J.
