Hints, Tips and Newbies's Guide
Chain reaction is a clone of a GWBASIC game (apparently) of the same name. I've never actually played the original, but I've got fond memories of a shareware re-make which no longer works on XP. Neil Fraser's (open source) version provided me with some useful inspiration for developing my own AI.
My version supports up to 4 players and AI. The AI has three settings: easy, medium and hard. By default it's set to medium, which is enough to challenge you, but it will mostly lose against an experienced player.
How to Play
Mike's hints and tips
Each go you can click on a cell to place a bomb. You can only place bombs in cells already of your colour, or empty cells. When a cell has too many bombs it will explode, throwing its bombs into the nearby cells and converting them to your colour. The aim of the game is to wipe out any other colours, leaving the board entirely populated by you.
Cells in corners can hold a maximum of 1 bomb before exploding; cells on the edge can hold a maximum of 2, and cells in the middle can hold a maximum of 3.

There's a copy of the sandbox here but I'm not sure how up to date it is. Also the saving/loading won't work without a php server

Are we able to download the physics sandbox? It looks great!

fyi, your awesome divwindows script doesnt work correctly when the window is created in an external script. so I had to fix it to where the window events refer to windows[windownumber] instead of the variable that the window was assigned to. thanks for it though!

Graph plotter breaks whenever a term goes to infinity at 0, if you just detected this then plotted at 0.000001 and -0.000001 instead, then it would fix it (and similarly for other infinities)
