Detail Page

written by Jack Taylor

The Shooting Fish in a Barrel Model presents a simple game that shows how to solve arrays of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and how to use ODE events to detect collisions. This game was developed a mid-term project in computational physics class at Davidson College.

The Shooting Fish in a Barrel 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).

Shooting Fish in a Barrel Model:

Is Based On Easy Java Simulations Modeling and Authoring Tool

The Easy Java Simulations Modeling and Authoring Tool is needed to explore the computational model used in the Shooting Fish in a Barrel Model.

relation by Wolfgang Christian

Is the Basis For Shooting Fish in a Barrel Game JavaScript HTML5 Applet Simulation Model

Recreated on JavaScript with several bug fixes especially the ordinary differential equations events which I speculate cannot handle if loops.
Re purposed for math prime numbers.
