Web McBilliards
by Pat Hooper and Rich Schwartz

This applet is a web-based version of our program McBilliards. The purpose of this applet is to let the user explore periodic billiard paths in triangles. The window you are currently reading is the info window. You scroll the text using the light blue arrow keys above.

Various parts of the applet have little boxes with question marks in them. If you click on these info boxes, this window will document the corresponding part of the applet.

We already mentioned that you can scroll the text by clicking on the light blue arrow keys. Here are some other control features of this window: Most of the documentation buttons give specific information about the component they document. However, the documentation for the main plotting window (the big screen in the middle) gives an overview of some of the general functions of McBilliards. You should probably read this documentation before doing anything else.
