Gale-Berlekamp-3D Simulation/Solver

(To run this demo, you need Java SE 6. Also, some native libraries are used for the graphics, so only a few architectures are working, namely Solaris/sparc 64bit (tested) and 32bit, Solaris-i586 64bit and 32bit, Linux-i586 64bit and 32bit, and Windows-i586 64bit (tested) and 32bit.)

Be patient - because it needs to load and verify a lot of graphics libaries, the applet needs a while to start.

If the demo doesn't start below, you can run it via Java Web Start instead. You need to have Java Web Start installed for this.
