Vibe Programming (Ben Knill demo)

During the October 20, 2026 class, Ben Knill demonstrated some Vibe programming live. About half an hour was spent to get a visualization of the 3-body problem using various models. The topic was a suggestion spontaneously given by one of the students (Faris) and not prepared. By the way: Oliver in 1999, once programmed the 3 body problem in Java script here. He spent a few days during the winter 1999/2000 with that while at the University of Texas in Austin. The vibe programming now of course is much faster and more sophisticated. Ben ran it in parallel using 6 different models. See here the entire website. And here are links to the 6 models.
