Which Free Program Can Animate a Moving Particle for a Presentation?

Click For Summary
For creating animations of moving particles along surfaces, several free programs and libraries are suggested. Wolfram Mathematica's Animate feature is not meeting the design needs. Alternatives include game development libraries like Pyglet, Pygame, and PyOpenGL, which may offer more flexibility but come with a steeper learning curve. Blender is also mentioned as a potential tool for animation, likely due to its robust capabilities in 3D modeling and animation. Additionally, VPython is highlighted as a simpler option for creating visualizations and animations, making it a suitable choice for those seeking ease of use.

Hello!
Can you give me an advice about a program (free program probably) where i can program an animation of a moving particle along some surface for a presentation?
Now I'm trying to use Animate in Wolfram Mathematica, but it is not, what I'm looking for from the design point of view...
Thank you!

Hhhhmmmm...I don't know animation but since no one is saying anything I will throw a few options.

Something difficult would be to attempt to use one of those game development libraries like pyglet, pygame, pyopengl.

I wonder if it can be done with Blender.

Lastly, and this may be the easiest is to use vpython.
 
Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
