From the original description: GRAPHICAL AIDS FOR STOCHASTIC PROCESSES (GASP) is an interactive tutorial in the theory of stochastic processes ... The distinguishing feature of GASP is state-of-the-art interactive microcomputer animation and an arcade style that makes the program fun to use. A "cartoon" of a toad jumping randomly between a princess and a dragon illustrates random walk … Users can interact with the program at any time - to change parameter values in the animations, read explanatory text screens, and so forth. Many topics are presented as challenging games. This project is to release GASP from its DOS prison.
