Sorting, grouping, defragging…a visual working demo
Watching a sorting, grouping, or just a defragmentation process graphically is both educational and curiously satisfying. So, I created a Python script that sorts a set of randomly placed, randomly colored, ungrouped tiles on a board by colors so that all like-colored tiles are placed consecutively, adjacently. Think of it like the good old Windows […]
Excel…aww…I love you too!
Is it possible to use Excel for romantic or sentimental purposes? Absolutely!

In this post, I will showcase another unusual application of Excel that taps into its potential for more heartfelt endeavors. I experimented […]

At the […]

Simulating object’s free fall on different planets, sun, and the moon
How can we simulate a box being dropped straight from some height on Earth and graphically show the action in real-time? How will it be different on the Moon? Or on the Sun (assume it can resist the high temperature), or on other planets including dwarf planet like Pluto? Well, that was my curiousity that […]
