BoxCar2D: cars that evolve! I'm sure you can find a way to claim that it's related to differential equations. :-)

Forced sinusoidal oscillations from the recent tsunami at the Monterey Bay Aquarium! Notice the amplitude decay.

Dwarf Fortress, a ~~game~~ geology/mining/metallurgy simulator. Perhaps not directly applicable to this class, but it's programmed by a mathematician!
