Paths of Balls Bouncing Off Pegs

Requires a Wolfram Notebook System
Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.
Balls are dropped from above a triangular pegboard at certain positions. The paths of the balls through the pegboard vary drastically with even a small difference in initial position. Choose up to five balls, change the difference between the positions of the consecutive balls dropped, vary the number of steps (size of pegboard), or change the vertical or horizontal separation between the pegs.
