-
6 
-NOTE: The following dependencies are required in order to successfully run some of these programs. These dependencies are *not* included in the Python Standard Library.
7 
-    *Matplotlib plotting library (for the Collatz Conjecture program)
8 
-    *Pygame (for the aquarium program as well as Conway's Game of Life)

28 
-    A simple aquarium. A random number of fish are spawned, each being an instance of the Fish class. Each is randomly assigned one of four breeds, and each has a randomly assigned speed. The fish will change directions when they come in contact with the screen's edge. Furthermore, each 50 millisecond cycle, each fish has a 1% chance (for each axis) of changing direction on its own, regardless of its position.

33 
-
34 
-    A binary search algorithm. A sorted array of numbers is given along with a number to search for. The function
35 
-will return the position of the target number in the array, or None if it isn't there. Uses recursion.

84 
-    Generates 100 squares that can each be either living or dead; each 1-second "generation," if a living square has less than two or more than three living neighbours, it will die from either underpopulation or crowding.
