Binary Mechanics Lab Simulator Tutorials

In more recent versions of Windows, the Simulator (hotspot.exe) display may appear garbled. This tutorial shows how to do proper display setup on the first run of hotspot.exe.

In this tutorial, the simulator (BMLS) is running during the window capture. The BMLS CPU usage causes the OBS video recording to skip frames. The audio is primitive but OK (except for the very loud crickets outside).

The user-friendly interface (bmls.exe) facilitates setup of experiments and automation of multiple simulator (hotspot.exe) runs without any further user intervention. For example, multiple runs might be required to gather data where specific independent variables are varied or simply to obtain a larger N by running multiple trials starting with the same initial state, but with randomized initial seeding.
