  • Othello is an interesting and serious 2 player game where you can also play as an individual against the computer
  • The magic cube can use use the the ability of transferring master status to allow a slave(observer) take control and solve the puzzle started by the original master

  • Planetary motion will start and stop the planets motion and then resume the simulation
