Ok, you can now grab the MotionTracker source code. Version 2 eventually will include the other methods for detecting and tracking motion which I mentioned. For now I have just included code for the technique used in the demo. // Read More

Inspired by Conway’s game of life (to which I was a late comer but now a devotee!), I decided to program a 2 dimensional Cellular Automaton in Actionscript 3.

I had been reading up on complexity theory for a recent project and the Cellular Automata just kept on rearing its head. Of course it displays the fundamental qualities of complexity; starting with an object following a set of simple rules and then creating multiple instances to form complex and unpredictable patterns. // Read More

Look at them go! Stupid primates.
Click ‘Spawn Platforms’ for a new layout, or play with the Platform and APE count steppers!

I finally found some time to play around with the AS3 physics engine, APE; something I have been meaning to do for a while now. // Read More

What happens when you let vista install drivers for you? Shit happens. But in this case, good shit. // Read More

A decent computer and lots of volume is recommended.

Well, due to the fear of slipping behind, I felt I better start learning the new Flash language, Actionscript 3, and at first glance, one of the coolest features is definitely the SoundMixer.computeSpectrum function. // Read More

In this experiment, you can drag the boxes; when you release them the stack will shuffle to accommodate the dropped box.

I have recently been working on building an application in which I wanted to use Photoshop style ‘layers’ which the user could create, drag onto different depths and delete.

The basic idea was for the user to click and drag ‘layers’, and drop them in between others. This would cause the other layers to reposition to accommodate the new layer and to fill the gap which it had left in it’s old position. Get it? // Read More

I have always liked the neat and compact menu system Group94 often use in their projects. It is really useful for lists or menus and is also of course very elegant.

I don’t know how Group94 do it, but here is my attempt. I have created two prototypes to make it easy to use multiple times within a project. // Read More

Experiments in the Revival of Organisms is a short animation exploring Dr. S.S. Bryukhonenko’s invention; the Autojector. // Read More
