About:
A landmark 2014 explorable explanation, translated into 15+ languages, that lets readers directly manipulate Schelling's segregation model rather than just read about it. Reviewed on leetdom — the page renders and scales correctly on a phone viewport with no errors; the specific drag-and-drop interaction could not be conclusively confirmed by this review's automated touch testing, a limitation noted honestly in the review given the piece's decade-plus history of real-world mobile use.

The Evolution of Trust
A 30-minute interactive argument about why trust between people breaks down and how it can be rebuilt, taught entirely by playing rounds of the prisoner's dilemma yourself.
Lemon Stall
Run a tiny street-corner drinks stall for a fourteen-day summer fair. Read the forecast, buy lemons, sugar, ice and cups, mix a recipe, set a price, then watch the street decide, and learn from a hindsight chart of what every price would have earned.
Push Back
Drag across the water to create real fluid currents and steer stranded boats home — a js13k 2019 Mobile category winner built on a genuine physics simulation.
Spore Quarantine
A spore bloom is spreading across the isles and the Council is watching. Survey the ones you can't read, fund labs toward a cure, route supplies, and seal the worst lanes — all while the wind carries the bloom downwind and public trust runs out faster than funds.
