A &nbsp; '''Galton device''' &nbsp; [[wp:Bean_machine|Sir Francis Galton's device]] &nbsp; is also known as a &nbsp; '''bean machine''', &nbsp; a &nbsp; '''Galton Board''', &nbsp; or a &nbsp; '''quincunx'''.


;Description of operation:
In a Galton box, there are a set of pins arranged in a triangular pattern. &nbsp; A number of balls are dropped so that they fall in line with the top pin, deflecting to the left or the right of the pin. &nbsp; The ball continues to fall to the left or right of lower pins before arriving at one of the collection points between and to the sides of the bottom row of pins. 

Eventually the balls are collected into bins at the bottom &nbsp; (as shown in the image), &nbsp; the ball column heights in the bins approximate a &nbsp;  [https://mathworld.wolfram.com/NormalDistribution.html bell curve]. &nbsp; Overlaying &nbsp; [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal%27s_triangle Pascal's triangle] &nbsp; onto the pins shows the number of different paths that can be taken to get to each bin.


;Task:
Generate an animated simulation of a Galton device.  


;Task requirements:
::* &nbsp; The box should have at least 5 pins on the bottom row.  
::* &nbsp; A solution can use graphics or ASCII animation.  
::* &nbsp; Provide a sample of the output/display such as a screenshot.
::* &nbsp; There can be one or more balls in flight at the same time.  
::* &nbsp; If multiple balls are in flight, ensure they don't interfere with each other.
::* &nbsp; A solution should allow users to specify the number of balls, or it should run until full or a preset limit.  
::* &nbsp; Optionally, &nbsp; display the number of balls.

=={{header|J}}==

First, we need to represent our pins:

<syntaxhighlight lang="j">initpins=: '* ' {~ '1'&i.@(-@|. |."_1 [: ":@-.&0"1 <:~/~)@i.</syntaxhighlight>

For example:

<syntaxhighlight lang="j">   initpins 4
   *   
  * *  
 * * * 
* * * *</syntaxhighlight>

Note that we could introduce other pin arrangements, for example a Sierpinski triangle:

<syntaxhighlight lang="j">initSpins=: [: }.@|. (1- 2&^@>:) ]\ [: ,] (,~ ,.~)@]^:[ ,: bind '* '</syntaxhighlight>

... but this will not be too interesting to use, because of the lack of interior pins for the balls to bounce off of.

Anyways, once we have that, we can add balls to our picture:

<syntaxhighlight lang="j">init=: ' ',. ' ',.~ ] ,~ ' ',~ ' o' {~  (# ' ' ~: 1&{.)</syntaxhighlight>

For example: 

<syntaxhighlight lang="j">   3 (init initpins) 4
    o    
    o    
    o    
         
    *    
   * *   
  * * *  
 * * * * </syntaxhighlight>

Now we just need some way of updating our datastructure.

We will need a mechanism to shift a ball left or right if it's above a pin:

<syntaxhighlight lang="text">bounce=: (C.~ ] <"1@:+ 0 1 -~/~ ? @: (2"0))"1 [: I. 'o*'&E."1&.|:</syntaxhighlight>

And, a mechanism to make the balls fall:

<syntaxhighlight lang="text">shift=: 4 :0
  fill=. {.0#,y
  x |.!.fill y
)</syntaxhighlight>

And then we need to separate out the balls from the pins, so the balls fall and the pins do not.  Note also that in this representation, balls will have to fall when they bounce because they cannot occupy the same space that a pin occupies.

We will also want some way of preventing the balls from falling forever.  For this task it's probably sufficient to introduce a baseline just deep enough to hold the stacks (which have passed through the pins) and have later balls instantly fall as close as they can to the baseline once they are passed the pins.

<syntaxhighlight lang="j">pins=: '*'&=
balls=: 'o'&=

bounce=: (C.~ 0 1 <@(-/~) [: (+ ?@2:"0) I.)"1 

nxt=: ' ',~ [: clean ' *o' {~ pins + 2 * _1 shift balls bounce balls *. 1 shift pins

clean2=: ({. , -.&' '"1&.|:&.|.@}.)~ 1 + >./@(# | '*' i:~"1 |:)
clean1=: #~ 1 1 -.@E. *./"1@:=&' '
clean=: clean1@clean2</syntaxhighlight>

For example:

<syntaxhighlight lang="j">   nxt nxt 3 (init initpins) 4
         
    o    
    o    
   o*    
   * *   
  * * *  
 * * * * 
         </syntaxhighlight>

Or, showing an entire animation sequence:

<pre style="overflow-x: scroll; white-space: pre; width: 100%">   nxt&.>^:a: <7 (init ' ',.' ',.~ initpins) 5

The balls keep track of where they are, and we just have to move them down and print. You might easily adjust this to take command line input for the numbers of pins and balls. I'm sure that this could be a lot shorter...

=={{header|Julia}}==
This is a proof of concept code. It does not use external packages. The ASCII animation is running in the stdout terminal, which has to be at least 28 character wide, and 40 character high, and accept ANSI control sequences for positioning the cursor, and clearing the screen (e.g. the Windows console, or ConEmu).

6 pins in 6 rows are hard coded. The next ball is released at the press of the Enter key. Keep it depressed for continuous running.
The balls are randomly deflected left or right at hitting the pins, and they fall to the bins at the bottom, which extend downwards.
The timer function sets the speed of the animation. Change the "interval" parameter to larger values for slower movement.
Pressing x then Enter exits, other keys are ignored.

Programming note: &nbsp; the last seven lines of this REXX program are some general purpose (boilerplate code) that, among other things, finds:
::* &nbsp; the REXX program's filename, filetype (file extension), and filemode (and/or path)
::* &nbsp; if the user wants documentation presented (not germane to this REXX program) 
::* &nbsp; the environment name (not germane)
::* &nbsp; what command to be used to clear the terminal screen
::* &nbsp; the name of the operating system being used (not germane)
::* &nbsp; the name of the REXX interpreter being used (not germane)
::* &nbsp; various other bits of information (not germane)

It is only intended to be used to make this particular REXX program independent of any particular REXX interpreter and/or independent of knowing which program is to be used for clearing the terminal screen. &nbsp; As such, the boilerplate code isn't commented and isn't intended to be a teaching tool. 

This REXX program makes use of &nbsp; '''SCRSIZE''' &nbsp; REXX program (or
BIF) which is used to determine the screen
<br>width and depth of the terminal (console).  &nbsp; Some REXXes don't have this BIF.

The &nbsp; '''SCRSIZE.REX''' &nbsp; REXX program is included here &nbsp; ───► &nbsp; [[SCRSIZE.REX]].

The terminal size used for this display was &nbsp; '''64'''<small>x</small>'''96'''.
