Magnetic Mini-Golf Model allows a player to play a version of Putt Putt with a twist: the ball behaves like a point charge in that it responds to magnetic fields. This game has two levels: regular and challenge. For the first level, the first magnetic field is placed in the lighter green region seen from the overhead view. The field is aimed into the ground (or screen). This causes the charged ball to veer in either a counterclockwise or clockwise direction depending on the direction of its approach to the field. This game was developed a mid-term project in computational physics class at Davidson College.
The Magnetic Mini-Golf Model was created using the Easy Java/JavaScript Simulations (EjsS) modeling tool. It is distributed as a ready-to-run (compiled) Java archive.
Please note that this resource requires
at least version 1.6 of Java (JRE).
