{{task|Animation}} [[Category:Randomness]] {{omit from|GUISS}}
Generate an animated simulation of [[wp:Bean_machine|Sir Francis Galton's device]]. An example can be found to the right. [[File:Galtonbox-Unicon.PNG|thumb|Example of a Galton Box at the end of animation.]]
In a Galton box, there are a set of pins arranged in a triangular pattern. A number of balls are dropped so that they fall in line with the top pin, deflecting to the left or the right of the pin. The ball continues to fall to the left or right of subsequent pins before arriving at one of the collection points between and to the sides of the bottom row of pins.
For the purpose of this task the box should have at least 5 pins on the bottom row. Your solution can use graphics or ASCII animation. Provide a sample of the output/display such as a screenshot.
Your solution can have either one or more balls in flight at the same time. If multiple balls are in flight, ensure they don't interfere with each other.
Your solution should allow users to specify the number of balls or it should run until full or a preset limit. Optionally, display the number of balls.

First, we need to represent our pins:
initpins=: '* ' {~ '1'&i.@(-@|. |."_1 [: ":@-.&0"1 <:~/~)@i.
For example:
initpins 4
*
* *
* * *
* * * *
Note that we could introduce other pin arrangements, for example a Sierpinski triangle:
initSpins=: [: }.@|. (1- 2&^@>:) ]\ [: ,] (,~ ,.~)@]^:[ ,: bind '* '
... but this will not be too interesting to use, because of the lack of interior pins for the balls to bounce off of.
Anyways, once we have that, we can add balls to our picture:
init=: ' ',. ' ',.~ ] ,~ ' ',~ ' o' {~ (# ' ' ~: 1&{.)
For example:
3 (init initpins) 4
o
o
o
*
* *
* * *
* * * *
Now we just need some way of updating our datastructure.
We will need a mechanism to shift a ball left or right if it's above a pin:
/ ? @: (2"0))"1 [: I. 'o*'&E."1&.|:
And, a mechanism to make the balls fall:
<lang>shift=: 4 :0
fill=. {.0#,y
x |.!.fill y
)
And then we need to separate out the balls from the pins, so the balls fall and the pins do not. Note also that in this representation, balls will have to fall when they bounce because they cannot occupy the same space that a pin occupies.
We will also want some way of preventing the balls from falling forever. For this task it's probably sufficient to introduce a baseline just deep enough to hold the stacks (which have passed through the pins) and have later balls instantly fall as close as they can to the baseline once they are passed the pins.
pins=: '*'&=
balls=: 'o'&=
bounce=: (C.~ 0 1 <@(-/~) [: (+ ?@2:"0) I.)"1
nxt=: ' ',~ [: clean ' *o' {~ pins + 2 * _1 shift balls bounce balls *. 1 shift pins
clean2=: ({. , -.&' '"1&.|:&.|.@}.)~ 1 + >./@(# | '*' i:~"1 |:)
clean1=: #~ 1 1 -.@E. *./"1@:=&' '
clean=: clean1@clean2
For example:
nxt nxt 3 (init initpins) 4
o
o
o*
* *
* * *
* * * *
Or, showing an entire animation sequence:
nxt&.>^:a: <7 (init ' ',.' ',.~ initpins) 5

The balls keep track of where they are, and we just have to move them down and print. You might easily adjust this to take command line input for the numbers of pins and balls. I'm sure that this could be a lot shorter...

Julia
This is a proof of concept code. It does not use external packages. The ASCII animation is running in the stdout terminal, which has to be at least 28 character wide, and 40 character high, and accept ANSI control sequences for positioning the cursor, and clearing the screen (e.g. the Windows console, or ConEmu).
6 pins in 6 rows are hard coded. The next ball is released at the press of the Enter key. Keep it depressed for continuous running. The balls are randomly deflected left or right at hitting the pins, and they fall to the bins at the bottom, which extend downwards. The timer function sets the speed of the animation. Change the "interval" parameter to larger values for slower movement. Pressing x then Enter exits, other keys are ignored. {{works with|Julia|1.0}}

REXX
The REXX version displays an ASCII version of a working Galton box.
Balls are dropped continuously (up to a number specified or the default), the default is enough rows of
pins to fill the top 1/3 rows of the terminal screen.
Extra code could've been added to check for which OS (operating system) is being used and which REXX is
running to determine which program to clear the terminal (screen). Currently, it is hard-coded to '''CLS'''.

Programming note: the last seven lines of this REXX program are some general purpose (boilerplate code) that, among other things, finds: ::* the REXX program's filename, filetype (file extension), and filemode (and/or path) ::* if the user wants documentation presented (not germane to this REXX program) ::* the environment name (not germane) ::* what command to be used to clear the terminal screen ::* the name of the operating system being used (not germane) ::* the name of the REXX interpreter being used (not germane) ::* various other bits of information (not germane)
It is only intended to be used to make this particular REXX program independent of any particular REXX interpreter and/or independent of knowing which program is to be used for clearing the terminal screen. As such, the boilerplate code isn't commented and isn't intended to be a teaching tool.
This REXX program makes use of '''SCRSIZE''' REXX program (or BIF) which is used to determine the screen
width and depth of the terminal (console). Some REXXes don't have this BIF.
The '''SCRSIZE.REX''' REXX program is included here ───► [[SCRSIZE.REX]].
The terminal size used for this display was '''64'''x'''96'''.
