Also Im going to put in a proposal for a Leeds based outdoor installation thing…
“secrets and lights”.

Hopefully, should one of these things happen this place will get lively again.

Drifts!

Drifts
“Drifts” is the first of two casual Flash games I was referring to in my last post. I’ve finished work on it yesterday night. The second game will take a bit longer.

The aim in Drifts is to stick as many green bubbles to your cursor as possible while avoiding the purple bubbles. Touching a blue bubble turns your green bubbles into points (it’s a Good Thing!). You need at least three green bubbles to receive a point. More green bubbles at once means drastically more bonus points.

Drifts requires the Flash 8 player (!) and semi-decent hardware. It runs fine on my 1.5 Ghz laptop.

I was originally planning to return from my thesis-motivated hiatus by completing and posting one of two casual flash games I’ve been working on for a few days. Instead I’ll post two very quick processing sketches made today in response to a fun competition at Austrian radio station FM4. The station employs a network of radio-/webhosts who produce content for its website. Since its beginning, the cms of the site allowed each host to specify up to three associated hosts, but apparently the rules and definitions for what constitutes an associate have never been entirely clear.

One of the hosts has issued a challenge to visualise arbitrary aspects of the network and thereby give an interpretation of what the association feature means. Here’s the relevant article, written in German.

Here’s my first sketch.
And here’s the somewhat more abstract second one.

It’s good to have a bit of time for this kind of work again.

While capturing frames from my application to create the big printings for the stand, I created two compositions using some of those frames.
The vortex one was bigger than 7k x 7k pixels, and strangely, definitely not so much, Flickr wasn’t able to resize it So if someone is interested on having it at the [...]
