XTOYS
xtoys - Cellular automaton and wave equation simulators for X.
SYNOPSIS
xising
xpotts
xautomalab
xsand
xfires
xwaves
schrodinger
DESCRIPTION
xising: implements a simulation of the two dimensional Ising model
with both local and cluster algorithms.
xpotts: for the q state Potts with a magnetic field.
xautomalab: a totalistic cellular automaton simulator.
xsand: implements the Bak, Tang, Wiesenfeld sandpile model,
illustrating self-organized criticality.
xfires: a simple forest fire model of self-organized critiality.
xwaves: simulates three different wave equations, representing light,
massive mesons, and water.
scrodinger: evolves a wave function with the Schrodinger equation.
The potential can be modified with the mouse.
OPTIONS
No command line options are implemented.
