Depends on how detailed / graphical you've in mind.
You might be interested in this:

I've put a scanned version of my written notes about the trajectory example.
No need for ODE in my very simple mind, because the functions describing 
the solution are already known.

If you want to view the demos / animations,
be sure to view the demo at the bottom first,
because it explains the philosophy behind the program.
Only 1 major feature is not described in this demo (because when I made 
the demo I had no solution for it, now I think I have)
and that is :
  an integrated help / instruction / assignment / fill-in forms / 
judgement, specially for educational puposes.

The program is not yet released,
because I'm now cleaning it up and debugging it (by making demos ;-)
