## WHAT IS IT?

This model is an implementation of a [_Galton board_ or _quincunx_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bean_machine) as discussed in Chapter 1 of

+   O'Sullivan D and Perry GLW 2013 _Spatial Simulation: Exploring Pattern and Process_. Wiley, Chichester, England.

You should consult that book for more information and details of the model.

## THINGS TO TRY

It is useful to slow this model down so that you can see how individual 'balls' arrive at their final locations.

## THINGS TO NOTICE

Turtles 'pile up' to create a histogram as the distribution develops.  This means that at the end of their 'drop' they change colour and are moved to a position that reflects the height of the column they are in.  This is to ensure that histogram 'columns' are drawn on top of the underlying ball drop paths.  If instead patches were used to show histogram bars, the ball drop paths would obscure the histogram bars.

It is also worth noting that the horizontal position of balls as they drop traces a one-dimensional random walk.  The formation of a normal distribution by the balls demonstrates the close relationship between random walks and the central limit theorem discussed in Chapter 4.

## HOW TO CITE
