PSim 2.0 Screen Shot 4

Over 13 hours after the first play began at the first station, the final play -- "Judgment" or "Doomsday" -- has begun at the first station. The streets are even more crowded with pageant wagons; many stations are backed up.

Caveats for the Windows 3.x version:

Careful observers will note an error in this display -- the Register lists only two plays between "Mary Magdelene" and "The Ascension," which makes it impossible for three plays to be backed up behind Mary Magdelene at this point. The error lies in the subroutine that determines when to add or remove the numerical tag to the name of the play (that is, the computer does not really "think" that there are three plays backed up here -- the label is merely wrong).

In addition, slight rounding errors within my calculations tend to mount up if the user modifies the simulation speed while the simulation is underway.

Neither of these errors applies to the Java version, PSim 2.1.
