Very nice. Two suggestions:

1. Put up the equations for the two cases just below the animation,
like the hyperphysics page.


That would be a lot of equations cluttering the whole thing up.

2. There seems to be a slight problem with the graphics animation,
while the clocks show exactly the same results from both A and B
perspectives, the rate of acceleration at takeoff seems different.


There is no problem, it is as it should be.
Just about everything seems different from A's and B's perspective.
That includes the reading of the clocks _during_ the journey.
Look at the rate curves. The reading of "the other clock" is the
integral of its rate.

But thanks for running my program.

Paul
