MATLAB Demos
My favorite demo was the Traveling Salesman 3D because it was the one game that included a moving object. I thought it was impressive that the code could take into account a number of cities across a globe and determine distances from each one and assign a coordinate to each city. It was an enthralling approach to the "traveling salesman" problem. In fact, all of the "Other Demos" impressed me due to the complexity and sheer length of their codes. It was really interesting to see what can be created from MATLAB; I had no idea that those type of graphics and games could be formulated just from MATLAB code.
