Bloom filterHave we seen this star before? A tiny bit array that is never wrong about no, and sometimes wrong about yes.
Diffie-HellmanTwo strangers agree a secret in public: the paint-mixing trick, then the real modular maths.
Error correctionSend a probe's message through cosmic noise and watch Hamming and Reed-Solomon codes repair it.
IsochronesHow far can you walk or drive in 15 minutes? Glowing rings of reach across real city streets.
Monte CarloMeteors rain on a starfield to estimate pi, areas and curves, with racing sampler bots and a live bell curve.
Binary searchFind one particle among 10^80 in about 266 yes or no questions, zooming from the cosmos to a single atom.
Light labNeon 2D raytracing: mirrors, prisms, lenses and a black hole bending light into geometric art.
SVD layersRebuild an image from its most important layers, one simple stripy pattern at a time.
RSA artModular circle art that turns into RSA: watch messages lock and unlock on a ring of points.
Neural networkA small network learns live, drawn as a constellation, with errors flowing backwards through it.
DeflateCompress a probe's message for the long trip home with LZ77 arcs and a Huffman constellation.
PageRankA spaceship surfs the warp lanes of a made-up galaxy and the busiest stars rise to the top.
MinimaxA glowing decision tree for two opponents, with alpha-beta pruning turning wasted branches to dust.
K-meansCluster random data into solar systems, then break it with the wrong k, rings and supernovas.
HyperLogLogCount the distinct stars in a galaxy using a few hundred bytes of memory.
Signal searchNaive, KMP, Boyer-Moore and Rabin-Karp race to find patterns in books, DNA and deep-space radio noise, plus a regex engine drawn as a glowing state machine.
EvolutionA terminal-style genetic algorithm lab: evolve pixel sprites or the words aldus nexus from noise.
Fourier epicyclesAny shape redrawn by spinning circles: draw it, upload it, or pick a country or a city loop.
SortingEleven sorting algorithms race through the same shuffle, with a QuickSort lab, a stability view, sound, playback and blocks you can knock about.
Game of lifeCellular automata you can draw on, tweak and watch evolve, with a pop-out view for a second screen.
Shortest pathRace pathfinding algorithms across real city street maps.
