Naim’s Place / Personal observatory
A collection of interactive experiments, original games and curious systems—built to make complex ideas feel tangible.
Timeline
The first version is committed as a personal hub with content categories, motion foundations, and an interactive science lab.
The science section gains a polished interactive fractal explorer with mobile gestures, progressive rendering, experimental precision, and a dedicated article.
A browser-based flocking experiment joins the science section, exploring how simple local rules can create lifelike group motion.
The classic cellular automaton joins the homepage as an interactive grid for drawing cells and watching simple neighbour rules create evolving patterns.
Life becomes a multi-faction experiment with custom rules, population histories, territorial placement, and mutual diplomacy spanning allegiance, neutrality, and war.
A rotating orbital sandbox maps effective-potential contours and local Lagrange-point stability while hundreds of test particles respond to two massive bodies.
A hard-disc collision laboratory explores momentum exchange, particle mass, and the random-looking trajectory of a tracked probe.
An ideal elastic-collision workbench counts wall and block impacts to show how Galperin billiards can reveal digits of pi.
An original geography game turns a disk into a country through six smooth reveal stages, with separate north-up and rotated daily challenges.
A pressure-sensitive teaching surface connects desktop and tablet through a private room, turning an S Pen into live chalk for lessons and diagrams.
A future split-view simulation will pair the Sun’s strange path across Mercury’s sky with the planet’s elliptical orbit and 3:2 spin–orbit resonance.
A planar gravity sandbox for placing multiple bodies, setting their mass and velocity, then watching stable systems, near misses, slingshots, and collisions emerge.
A wave laboratory for colliding solitons and measuring how their profiles and phases change through the interaction, with crest tracking as a visual analysis tool.
Explore what periodic changes in an asteroid’s brightness can reveal about its rotation and rough, model-dependent shape, beginning with Atala as the reference case.
Future laboratories will explore particle systems, flow fields, fluid behaviour, and other simulations where large-scale motion emerges from many small interactions.
Content modes
Celestial archive / interactive experiments
Each teaser is a conceptual schematic. Open an experiment for its model, assumptions, and controls.
Watch from Mercury’s surface and from above its orbit at the same time. Near perihelion, Mercury’s orbital angular speed briefly exceeds its steady rotation, so the Sun slows, stops, reverses, then resumes its usual path.
Experiment in flight planningGuess a country while an abstract shape smoothly morphs towards its true silhouette with every wrong answer.
Play GeoMorphTurn a tablet and S Pen into live chalk while the same board appears on a desktop screen for tutoring, diagrams, and shared explanations.
Open the blackboardA practical note on turning daily software routines into a dashboard that is easier to scan and maintain.
In progressA space for gaming clips, loadout notes, match breakdowns, and linked highlight reels.
In progressShort notes, a few selected images, and links out to a fuller external photo album.
In progressPlay with a WebGL fractal field: zoom, pan, change the starting value, tune the exponent, and watch the structure shift.
Enter deep explorerTune separation, alignment, cohesion, speed, and icon style to watch lifelike flocking emerge from small local rules.
Open deep simulatorTrack a marble through a crowded hard-disc system and see deterministic collisions build a random-looking path.
Open collision workbenchCount ideal elastic collisions between two blocks and a wall, then watch the total begin to echo digits of pi.
Open pi workbenchDraw a living grid, alter its starting state, and watch simple neighbour rules produce unexpected structures.
Open deep simulatorTurn Life into a multi-faction battlefield with custom rules, territorial placement, and shifting diplomacy.
Enter the battlefieldDisturb an orbital system, reveal its Lagrange points, and observe where particles settle or escape.
Open orbital workbenchSoftware setup guides, keyboard-first workflows, and reusable checklists for tools that earn a permanent place.
In progressA personal note about the site, the name, and the kind of trail this archive is meant to leave.

About
Naim's Place is designed as a flexible identity system rather than a single-topic blog. It can hold professional notes, gaming content, science articles, travel fragments, guides, and personal writing without forcing them into the same mood.
The design starts minimal and cinematic, then lets each content type shift the surface slightly through colour, motion, and layout.
