Collide Particles In Your Browser!

levitated.net — The 'Bubble Chamber' program is a simulation of particle collision that runs in your browser window. Nice image gallery of the results.

  • theone3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Oh no! Packet collisions.

    Will this slow everything down?

    Heh. Just in case it does, http://www.levitated.net.nyud.net:8090/p5/chamber/index.html :D
  • errer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Note: This is inspired by particle physics collisions, but the mechanics are completely different. For example, quarks are not distinguishable as they are in this simulation.

    Still looks pretty neat, though.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Have no idea what this is doing, but it looks cool
  • Jolene, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Dosn't seem to be working for me. O.o
  • hellb0y, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Looks pretty cool... Will DIGG even if im not sure what its suppose to represent
  • Mushroonaut, on 07/11/2008, -0/+0Awesome!
  • disord3r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Looks like a festering sore on a hairy persons leg.

  • EliColburn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0this seriously deserves 3000+ diggs.
  • Rice, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Well, he makes the effort to making the source easy to get, so, dugg.
  • capn_caveman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0If anyone can figure out how to extract those rendered images that would be really cool...
  • capn_caveman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Actually I just found this link to the same thing... This one is much more friendly for browsers IMO.

  • Mushroonaut, on 07/11/2008, -0/+0sweeeeeeet. the space bar hitting in huge mode is fun!
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is pretty cool.
    But for some reason all my particles seem to be one color...
    In the screenshot they have different colors.
    Oh well.

  • Jolene, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Nevermind, got it working in IE. Pretty cool. Would be cooler if the 'growth point' (if you will) would start in a random spot, not just the middle.

  • capn_caveman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Not enough resolution....
  • nocircleno, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This guy is cool, I saw him present at Flash Forward in San Fran last year.
  • Llan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yes, unconfined quarks in a bubble chamber, this will revolutionize the world. We don't need CERN now anymore...
  • mikm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Oh noes, not teh Java!!

    Sweet. +digg
  • capn_caveman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0For some reason I can't get the "Large" image to work in any browser, but the others work fine....
  • knightmare, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0trippy
  • patrickweber, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"If anyone can figure out how to extract those rendered images that would be really cool..."

    Print. . . Screen
  • CaughtThinking, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0You can call it Java like you can say "Hey guys check out my C++" when using Firefox.
    The software is called Processing: http://www.processing.org which is powered by Java applets among other things. Very well done prog.

    Digg++ It's a great tool and really shows how artful it is especially in the hands of someone who knows how to use it :)
  • gamabunta, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0very nice
  • phi0x, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0ya it was on digg ALONG time ago, its non the less cool though:)
  • mcbean, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0levitated.net always has some neat stuff, dugg
  • a1programmer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It's a Java applet. I guess you can say "In Your Browser" because, technically, the applet is in your browser window, but this could just as easily be a Java application.
  • jumjum, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I let mine run for 3 hours and it looks like raindrops hitting a muddy swamp (or a regular lake at night).

    !NO PIC FOR YOU!
  • capn_caveman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0"This was on Digg months ago."

    Really? Provide a link.
  • UnKnownViper27, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0How do you play it? and what's the point.
  • EliColburn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0wow. I definitely digg this. Amazing web game.
  • aznboi04k, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1it uses java. no digg.
  • nannerla, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0that would make a cool screen saver or something itr looks kool but idk wats going on
  • turgiddahlia, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0errer: That's the ***** stupidest thing I've ever head. What would be the point of a simulation if the information being simulated wasn't "distinguishable"? Knob.
  • Flyngwalrus, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0This was on Digg months ago.
  • masterdebater, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Cool! Alt-F4 unlocks the god-particle!
  • capn_caveman, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0HOLY CRAP!! That Alt - F4 feature is
