Computational physics has played a key role in our understanding of core-collapse supernovae, beginning with the seminal work of Colgate and White in 1966. There is a growing body of evidence that these supernova explosions are inherently asymmetric, and today's computing platforms provide sufficient power to begin to study the origin of this asymmetry using multidimensional simulations. We will show how the jump to full three-dimensional simulations has revealed new insights to this age-old problem of how a massive star explodes, as well as providing more realistic models of the expanding relic blastwave. Unexpected results from these multidimensional simulations include the spinning up of pulsars via shocked accretion flow and the formation of 'jets' in otherwise spherical explosions.
