Just download it and play around with it (or you can use it online without downloading it): http://amath.colorado.edu/java/

Great stuff – thanks for sharing! What maths software were you using in the screencasts? I couldn’t make it out due to the size of the videos (and I can’t seem to resize them either).

There are some nice Wolfram Demonstrations on Lissajous figures

Things get really interesting when you start including the idea of damping.
