Mark Napier
2002

Mark merges the inherent chaos of a Double Pendulum with the noisy personality of an Euler integrator, to great effect. There are some nice patterns to be found in the code: iteration, simulation, a delicately hand-rolled Bresenham's line, alpha blending. I think the Javascript reload is forceful and a little risky: having been burned one too many times by browsers, I might have tried to find a way to clear the scene from within the applet code itself. It doesn't matter. The piece has good staying power. Run it overnight."
