In case you haven't seen my preceding versions of this mathematics-related project (from about 1.5 years ago), I would like to encourage you to visit them. Also, I would like to point you towards the mathematics references: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_curve http://mathworld.wolfram.com/EllipticCurve.html and another fun, interactive version (java applet) - http://www.certicom.com/ecc_tutorial/ecc_javaCurve.html UPDATES ( Includes CONTROLS ) This project was created in order to take advantage of the speed of the flash player. So please, use flash player and do the shift-click-the-green-flag-to-enter-turbo-mode thing. Now, first of all of the changes, I have clearly changed the a and b variable displays into sliders. Second, there are new, smaller steps for drawing and a new brightness scheme map for b (cyclic). Finally, CONTROLS: Green Flag - Sets off demo draw that draws b range for every 0.5 value for a (step 0.5, from -3.0 to 3.0). Clears beforehand. Z key - draws the elliptic curve for a given a with range of b from -3 to 3 with a step of 0.1 . color depends on value of a. Space bar - Draws a single elliptic curve for a given a and b C key - Clears all pen markings. Enjoy!
