Do you want to turn the UCLA landmark Royce Hall into ruins? Yes you do. Try the world first earthquake simulation Java applet. If you are using a Java (beta) compatible web browser, like the very buggy netscape version 2.0b2 (not HotJava and netscape 2.0b1), you can click on the picture of Royce Hall to rock the building. The more frequent you click, the harder it rocks, until it falls into pieces. A great way to relieve stress for low life computer science graduate students like myself.
You can click here if you want to take a look at my messy code for this applet, which uses the MediaTracker class from Jim Graham of Sun. (MediaTracker class is included in Beta class library)
