Plinko is the name of a game played on The Price Is Right, where a contestant drops up to
5 Plinko discs down a large peg board to win up to $50,000 cash.
My version of Plinko has simple graphics, but otherwise plays just like the game show; i.e. you drop 5 discs to win up to $50,000.

version of Plinko does have
"simple graphics" and it does have
a simple interface but it is not based
on any programming class assignment,
book, etc; I wrote it from scratch,
just for the fun of it.
As for being interactive it is true you
won't be dragging and dropping discs
with your mouse; instead you specify
the rows, columns, start position(s),
and how many times you want it to run.
To make it more interactive (dragging
discs with the mouse) would be a huge
amount of work and I personally don't
think it would make it any more fun.
In regards to saying it should be
animated, well it is.
If it looks like the results are
displayed instantaneously then
your computer is too fast for the
default settings (there is no speed
governor); just increase the number
of rows to 501 and the number of
runs to 100; then you should see
it animated.
