The Random Strut

Henceforth I will stop apologizing for my exuberance in my advances in sub-basic computer programming, and simply take pleasure in my own accomplishments. I am of the age now where I need to get over it and stop worrying about you, the non=existent audience. So that being said, I would like to share with you my latest cretins: Random Walk Visualizations!

Digital Walk:






Analog Walk:


Basically for those of you requiring more information. Random walks are used in physics to guess the movement of quantum particles. In this case they are determined by the computer's sudo-random generation of a number between 1 and 4 and then making a movement corresponding to the number selected. The Analog walk does pretty much the same thing, but instead of the four cardinal directions it uses radians to move points around the field.

They are pretty fun programs to play around with. I have written them in Python (like most everything I've done to this point) and will soon put up the source code, but I am also trying to figure out how to make these interactive on the site as well.
