svg tag + audio tag = 3D Waveform

As always, you just need a bit of practice with a language to start using it in nice ways. Now that I had that little 3D engine working and with the <audio> around, it was time to produce an idea I always had in mine. A 3D interpretation of a waveform. I'm sure the first thing you would think after checking this experiment would be... What? I didn't know could analyse the sound signal with the <audio> tag?! ... Well, you can't, if you check the source code (*hint* right click -> view source) you'll see an array of numbers (translate)

More and more Javascript

Seems like I'm still hooked to Javascript. For the last few months, on my spare time I've been toying more and more with it, creating little pieces that will serve as personal benchmarks for browser performance improvements. For the next few links I recommend using a WebKit based browser otherwise your browser may crash. The first idea I wanted to try was creating a canvas using checkboxes as pixels. Then display animations with it. Similar to textmode renderers. I posted the link over twitter and minutes later Aaron was sending me a drawing done with the checkboxes by Valdean Klump. (translate)

Mr.doob left Hi-ReS!

As I posted on Twitter I'm no longer commuting from Victoria to Old St every day, nor having Franco's Fruit Salad every morning, nor randomly enjoying Franco's Spaghetti Carbonara, nor randomly enjoying BLT's Caesar Wrap, nor randomly enjoying Kick's Goat Cheese Salad, nor playing foosball matches at the end of the day, nor having beers and Brick Lane Bagels on Fridays and, most importantly, I'm no longer working on a studio with many talented and passionate people. It's hard to believe that it's been already 2 years since I joined them. When you're having fun time goes really fast. Thanks (translate)

Anatoly Zenkov's Portrait of Mr.Doob

Some months ago, the fact that the Hi-ReS! Stats seemed to be all over the internet made me come up with the idea of doing a A1 poster for the developers room in the office. Unfortunately, the idea got forgotten at some point. This morning, while checking Twitter (which is slowly becoming my source of news), I got intrigued by a Anatoly Zenkov tweet. If discovering eedl yesterday made my day, I think this just made my month. Now, what can I say? Thanks batch!! :'D (translate)

Isolation

If you had 2 weeks of holidays in September you would probably get a nice apartment in a Sunny island at 5 min of the beach. I would too. But not this time. Instead I will be going to a Reykjavik hotel for 15 days. Why Reykjavik? Because 15 days in a hotel in UK it's about £1,000 and in Iceland it's £300 (breakfast included)... and the flight from London to Reykjavik costs £200, so that's why. The idea is to stay inside the hotel room with my laptop all the time (Carmack's style). Hopefully with no distractions. Although I (translate)

Realtime 3D stuff with Javascript

Some weeks ago I did yet another chrome experiment for Instrument. In fact, it was a experiment I half started when I realised that with the css property -webkit-transform (and MozTransform) I could scale elements. So I ported my basic 3D engine to Javascript and I got it working in a few hours. But in the end I didn't finish that one. So for this "second phase" I finished it, but this time using Google Image API. The end result looks like this: Realtime version: Google Sphere. Once I had this one done I got totally addicted to Javascript and (translate)

Windosill

Some weeks ago Vectorpark released a incredibly cute little game called Windosill. At first you had to pay $2 (or something like that) to play the second half of the game. Which I happily paid as I'm a big fan of this guy. Now the game is online for everyone to play. It's one of those games with puzzles not too hard enough to make you feel good (aka clever) at the end of every stage. Also, technically, there are so many thing I don't know how were done. There is still magic on the flash world :) What are (translate)

Understanding Flash Player Global Security Settings in just 20 steps

This is something I keep facing every time I develop a flash app on Windows. You'll get to the point that you want to access online data and the flash player will tell you that you are not allowed: SecurityError: Error #2028: Local-with-filesystem SWF file file:///C /Documents%20and%20Settings/mrdoob/Desktop/hi%2Dres/jaegermeister/modules/deploy/TestSuite.swf cannot access Internet URL http://... Then, at some point you'll Google the problem, and start trying things. Eventually you'll do this: 1 - Right click on the flash movie 2 - Click on settings 3 - Click on the second icon, the screen with an eye (!) 4 - Click on advanced And (translate)

Succumbed to Twitter :S

http://twitter.com/mrdoob I think it's a interesting way for logging dev progress and save useful links. Thanks... ;) (translate)

Legal Age Verification with Actionscript

Here it's a quick snippet I had to do for this site I'm working on... I did a quick google search to see if there was a snippet for it already but didn't find anything so I though I would share it here. I though it was going to be a nightmare job but ended up quite simple: var legalAge : int = 18; // or 21 var userDOB : Date = new Date(year,month-1,day); var today : Date = new Date(); var diff : Date = new Date(); diff.setTime( today.getTime() - userDOB.getTime() ); var userAge : int = diff.getFullYear() - (translate)
