I think you may enjoy looking at the remarkable things Matt Henderson can do with Mathematica. His amusing work on the Galton board is very much along the lines you mention. http://playingwithmathematica.com/2011/05/07/bouncy-gaussy/ -Tomas > Date: Tue, 6 Dec 2011 03:12:55 -0500 > From: srcolwell at gmail.com > Subject: Falling sphere with random outcome > To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net > > I am writing a small program in Flash that is similar to a Galton board with 6 pins and 4 bins. I see that there are some Galton board demos on the Mathematica site, but none that actually have an individual sphere dropping and bouncing in a life like manner. Is it possible to program a sphere hitting a pin and with a 50% probability of falling to the left and vice versus to the right? >
