Zillions has its limitations.
I have now published about 33 so-called "demonstrations" for the Wolfram Demonstration Website (http://demonstrations.wolfram.com), some programs independent of what I have published in Zillions, some closely related.
You can download the Demonstration Reader for free. It allows you to run these programs.
There are now over 4000 demonstrations, many scientific, but puzzles and games as well.
Have a look.
To find my publications there, search for "Scherer" on the Demonstration Website.
Cheers, Karl |

Thanks for the link.
These demo's look very interesting. The only problem is that in order to *create* them, one has to own Mathematica 7 which costs US$2500.00. That puts creation of these demos out of reach for most people (cost is over 71 times that of Zillions).
FWIW, I've also played around with the free software package called "StarLogo" which is geared towards creating agent simulations.

Indeed, when you want to code Mathematica, you usually have to buy it.
But for the USERS there is no expense, and they are potentially billions of users.
If you play Scrabble, for example, you can check anagrams and learn anagrams with my two 7-letter anagram demonstrations. No time limit of usage, no limit on downloads etc.
There is definitely nothing like it on the web,
and this is just one example...
Worth checking out for everyone I would say.
----------------------------
P.S.
Based on one's previous publications some people get it for free, at least for half a year. When you publish some good demos in that period, you will be able to keep it for free forever, as I did.
