   6 description::
   7 A cubic-interpolating sound generator based on the difference equation:
   8
   9 code::
  10         x[n+2] = 1 - a * pow(x[n+1], 2) + b * x[n]
  11 ::
  12 warning:: revise formulae converted to c like code. ::

  14 This equation was discovered by French astronomer Michel Hénon while studying the orbits of stars in globular clusters.
