Hi -
A few hours' hacking resulted in another demonstration widget that aims
to show off the kinds of monitoring components that may be easily inserted
into a sid simulation. It's written in tcl/tk, and has a single input pin
on which it receives stimulus. One could configure it something like
this; though any old output pin that spits out a range of values might
be interesting.

The component displays a window filled with roving icons. Each icon
represents a stimulus value (sid::pin::driven() argument) that has been
received. The icons move around the screen in relationship to how
frequently/intensely each particular value is received. It's sort of
a qualitative monitor, like lavaps and Mark Weiser's "Dangling String".
The top few icons (the ones moving fastest since they have been occurring
most frequently) are decorated with 100% genuine fuzzy dice.
By the way, this may make sid the first simulator in the world with
built-in fuzzy dice support. I attach a screenshot as proof.
