My JS1K Demo - The Making Of

The quality may vary on your browser but you owe it to yourself to take a few moments to visit this 1K code demo site. Not for the special effects, though their pretty neat. No, rather, because sites like this offer the ultimate answre to people who ask "what do I need math for?" Or - perhaps more to the point - students (not all, but some) will want to do stuff like this, and when they read the "how I did it" post they see that they need math - and then math becomes useful and relevant. There's a lot more like this on the net for those who would look for it. Like this wormhole demo, which is another entry in the 1K code contest. Or the gallery of networks, which should be making you think about graph theory (and stop you from generalizing too much about networks). Or the simply astonishing metamorphisis of the cube on this post. Or the magic of Voronoi diagrams. There's a world to engage the imagination of the potential mathematician, if we would only look at it.
