Notes

This animation uses the <canvas> element and may not run in older versions of Internet Explorer.

This animation uses WebGL for 3D animation, which is not supported by all browsers (especially mobile devices). Even where it is supported it may not be particularly smooth.

Plans

Add Hanoi Graph animation

Add a 'yin-yang' (state-based) colouring option to the animations.
