To use: draw a simple ‘S’ shape on the left-hand panel. Then experiment. Note that it’s fairly crude and only renders convex surfaces properly.
This was a quick mockup I made at the end of last year to try out an idea for a Christmas Card. It was originally going to [...]
I’ve decided to start releasing bits and pieces of source code just for fun. The first one is the Vector Field demo I wrote ages ago.
First, the source code

It’s easy to change the size, colour and ’splat’ graphics. This is totally free for non-commercial use, but I kindly ask that [...]
One of the problems I had when writing Flash Screensavr was sharing preferences between two separate and different SWF files - the Preferences panel and the Screensaver itself. Obviously a job for SharedObject.
However there is a trick to creating a SharedObject that behaves how you’d expect.
Having recently parted with my aging G4 PowerBook and upgraded to an entry-level MacBook, I couldn’t resist the temptation to install Windows XP (spit!). Well, it’s good for games at least.
I was also excited to discover a free version of Visual Studio called Visual Studio Express. Have only played with the tutorials but have to [...]
Screensavr has been Approved by the Authorities and is available on Yahoo Apps. Does this mean I’m now a fully qualified geek?

As I’m on a bit of a Cocoa Screensaver mission at the moment I spent [...]

New version, Mac native code this time. Thanks to Andy and Jay for suggestions: now you can choose your own colours and font. Not that there was anything wrong with my choices. Planning to add finer typographic control in future, but for now… enjoy playing with the leading.

So I have reach a dead-end in Flash. I now have a Screensavr that works perfectly, honouring all image proportions. Looks great, but runs slowly in Flash as it can’t handle so many individual images as the bitmap processing isn’t sophisticated enough; had to make it so that each row is a series of MovieClips [...]
This is impressive work.
“An open-source Flex library for browser URL control via deep linking which I have developed in collaboration with Todd Rein of Adobe.”
I’ve recently written something similar for Flash 8 (we’re yet to have clients that are ready for Flash 9 / Flex). I discovered this afterwards: it produces automatically generated [...]
