Deploy on Pis from GitHub repo, automate updates Get light gates working Somehow show effect of large N If performance is an issue, pre-calculate Add option to drip feed balls into simulation Check dependencies Add sliders to change physical parameters Change gravity on the fly? <h5 id="ideas-for-improving-the-galton-board-software">Ideas for improving the Galton board software</h5> <ul> <li>Mass of balls</li> <li>Size of balls</li> <li>Size of pins</li> <li>Width of barriers</li> <li>Fix lag <ul> <li>Due to N=300?</li> </ul> </li> <li>Deploy on Pis from GitHub repo, automate updates</li> <li>Get light gates working</li> <li>Somehow show effect of large N <ul> <li>If performance is an issue, pre-calculate</li> </ul> </li> <li>Add option to drip feed balls into simulation</li> <li>Check dependencies</li> <li>Add sliders to change physical parameters</li> <li>Change gravity on the fly?
