File Information
Description

This is a GUI to simulate billiard systems on Matlab. It is useful not only for making graphics for files but also for doing research in billiard dynamical systems, as one can use this program to create lots of insight. It includes preset tables (such as Sinai, limacon, stadium, and mushroom billiards) as well as a tool to design one's own tables. The documentation for the program is available at http://www.its.caltech.edu/~mason/research/billiards.pdf.

MATLAB release MATLAB 6.5.1 (R13SP1)
Other requirements This program has also been used on much more recent versions of Matlab than the one on which it was created.

Pretty impressive from what I could see. A requirement the author fails to note is the symbolic toolbox.
