3 experiments for the price of none!

I've been a bit lax with updating, so here's 3 experiments I've done so far with a sly promise of more to come.

First off is a project that I did for another module, but liked it so much that I continued to play with it. It's a flash application that uses a genetic algorithm to 'evolve' the collection of blocks to a specific colour. At the moment it evolves towards red because I forgot to implement a colour changing option, but that's easily implementable if I feel that it needs it.


Here's the source code for if you want to look how it works (actionscript 2.0)

Second is the 3D rotating box that I showed in one of the previous weeks.


I got most of the code (AS3) from a tutorial and then edited it to spin around without user interaction, so I can't really take credit for this one. Looks neat though!

Finally for something analogue, I've been going through a bit of a pixel art phase so I put these together using some Hama beads, an iron and a lovely assistant who shall not be named.



The mighty pirate's foot has come off, but otherwise I think they look great. Also make for a great conversation starter.

Edit: I just noticed that embedding swf's completely messes up the formatting of this page. HA!
