Java

Today I only studied a little bit. I had too much other stuff to do. But I did manage to find a nice brain teaser from GeeksForGeeks.org.

Imagine a champagne pyramid, but in only two dimensions. Like this:

Level 1:    1
Level 2:   1 2
Level 3:  1 2 3

Of course, we could have as many levels of this "pyramid" as we liked.

All the glasses are the same. When you overfill Level 1 glass 1, the overflow goes half to the left (Level 2 glass 1) and half to the right (Level 2 glass 2). Every time a glass is overfilled, half the overflow goes to the left and half to the right.

Find a method to tell me how much champagne is in any glass, when I tell you how much I poured into the top glass.

For instance, if I say I poured 4 glassfuls, and I want to know about Level 3 glass 3, you'd tell me it had 0.25 glassfuls.

How To Play

Only Santa can check his list, so he needs you to save all the toys he spilled. When you surround a present with your magic silly string, it will be warped back to Santa's bag. Surround more than one present at a time for extra points! You must catch the presents before they hit the ground, or they'll break. Luckily, some elves are waiting to catch any presents you miss, but if even one present breaks, Christmas will be ruined for some nice little boy or girl. Continue reading "Christmas Roundup Game" »

Here's one of my first Java apps. It uses Bresenham's line-drawing algorithm to draw pieces of lines as particles and simulate a nuclear chain reaction.
