Welcome to a tutorial site guaranteed to teach you something about programming, algorithms, math, puzzles, and problem solving. The basic premise here is that "by example" is an effective way to learn programming. There's a growing amount of sample code here to download and run.
The examples range from simple (less than 50 lines of user code) to a few that have several thousand lines. Some were written because I wasn't smart enough, or too lazy, to solve them by hand. Some probably can only be solved by computer. And there are one or two that I believe are unsolvable, even with a computer. The programs all have several things in common...
They solve interesting puzzles or problems that I've discovered over the years. Examples (these may not all be posted yet):

Some probably can only be solved by computer. And there are one or two that I believe are unsolvable, even with a computer. The programs all have several things in common...
They solve interesting puzzles or problems that I've discovered over the years. Examples (these may not all be posted yet):
- Estimate the value of pi by shooting cannonballs into a pond or dropping needles on a sheet of paper.
- Duplicate the hidden mathematics of sunflowers .
- Solve those arithmetic word problems (BONG + BONG + BONG = GONGS).
- Solve chessboard problems like The Knights Tour and Eight Queens.
- A logic problem solver - at least help solve those logic story problems that are published monthly in logic magazines.
- Lots of number problems involving integers, powers, primes, factors, etc. (Find the largest and smallest non-prime numbers whose prime factors sum to 100).
- A maze generator.
- Palindromic number problems - palindromes read the same from the left or right. (What's the smallest Palindromic number that's a perfect square and has an even number of digits?)
- Simple animated physics programs - bouncing ball, cannon firing.
- And much more....
