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

AI Thread 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 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'

Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
