Python Can I Create Interactive Applets with Python?

AI Thread Summary
A user expresses interest in creating visualizations similar to those made with Java applets, specifically referencing Falstad's work. They are considering using VPython for 3D visualizations but are constrained by time. Recommendations for resources include the VPython website, which offers a 3D OpenGL visualization module and the Numeric module, as well as the Python Imaging Library for 2D graphics. Additional tools mentioned are Numerical Python, Boost.Python, and PyOpenGL, all of which can enhance Python's visualization capabilities. The user finds VPython promising and appreciates the shared resources for further exploration.

This guy has made a nice series of demonstrative applets with Java. I was wondering what I'd need with Python to do the same thing.

Falstad's visualizations are great.

I have been interested in using VPython to create visualizations along those lines... but I don't have a lot of free time right now.

Try http://www.vpython.org (which has Visual, a 3D OpenGL visualization module, and the Numeric module). Look at the contributed programs for a sense of what can be done.

For 2D graphics, you might try the Python Imaging Library

VPython looks really good! I've only started experimenting with it but it has some impressive capabilities and seems easy to use.
 
I'll definitely check it out. Thanks for all the links.
 

Thread 'Learning Assembly and computer architecture for x86'

Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...

Thread 'Microsoft Technical Interview question'

I had a Microsoft Technical interview this past Friday, the question I was asked was this : How do you find the middle value for a dataset that is too big to fit in RAM? I was not able to figure this out during the interview, but I have been look in this all weekend and I read something online that said it can be done at O(N) using something called the counting sort histogram algorithm ( I did not learn that in my advanced data structures and algorithms class). I have watched some youtube...
