Since Java applets are no longer supported in most web browsers, I’ve recently started making my old Java applets available as Java ARchive downloads, which can be run as standalone applications. For more information, see How to Run a Java ARchive. If there’s an applet you’d like to use that’s not currently available for download as a Java ARchive, please let me know, and I’d be happy to convert it for you and post a link below.

• Let’s Make a Deal by David Little and Mike Zabrocki
  An experiment to find the answer to the Monty Hall Paradox.
• Gambler’s Ruin: A Monte Carlo Simulation by David Little and Mike Zabrocki
