Interactive prototype
Run it. Break it. Tune it.
Sandboxed simulation embedded right in the page. No setup, no install.
Coming soon

Each concept ships with a sandboxed, hands-on prototype. The author wires the HTML file once and it loads in this frame.
About this simulation
When this concept's prototype lands, it loads here as a sandboxed iframe.
Hands-on
Try these on your own
Open the prototype above, run each experiment, predict the answer, then verify.
Open the prototype
Run the simulation above and form a hypothesis about how it'll respond to a burst.
Try a burst
Most prototypes have a 'Burst' button. Click it and see if your prediction held.
Tune a parameter
Where you can, adjust capacity or rate. Note the trade-off you just discovered.
