War of the fireflies

January 21st, 2008 | Posted by lars in Experiments | Flash 9 | Particles | Simulations | Source - (6 Comments)

Derived from one of my older experiments: Three different populations of fireflies are fighting for their survival. If a firefly encounters an enemy fly, it tries to convert it to their tribe. The converted fly looses lifepoints and eventually dies during conversion. For the “collision logic”, I used a slightly modified version of Grant Skinners AS3 Proximitymanager. You can download the source and play around with it here (but don’t expect beautiful code ;)).

Just a quick test with the AS3 port of the Box2D Physics Engine … it’s quite fun to play with, I could toss around boxes for hours ;)

Launch Box2D Test!

Fluid Dynamics

March 30th, 2007 | Posted by lars in Direct X | Experiments | Particles | Simulations - (4 Comments)

After spending a lot time playing around with Plasma Pong I tried to do fluids by myself. I found a Fluid Solver and had just to convert it to C# and add a few Direct X effects. Download not yet available. Watch movie!

Conway’s Game of life

August 14th, 2006 | Posted by lars in Experiments | Flash 7/8 | Simulations - (1 Comments)

My version of Conway’s game of life. The lifegame is a small cell-life simulation with these simple rules:

  • A cell with 0 or 1 neighbors dies, as if by loneliness.
  • A cell with 4 or more neighbors dies, as if by over-population.
  • Each cell with 2 or 3 neighbors survives.
  • An empty space with 3 neighbors becomes populated.

Yikes! How disgusting. mildew all over my site… Hope you can stop the spreading with your mouse: Launch!

Growing things

February 5th, 2005 | Posted by lars in Experiments | Flash 7/8 | Simulations - (1 Comments)

The result of some random formulars:

x = Math.random() - Math.random();
y = Math.random() - Math.random();

lineTo(x, y);

Growing and dying forever… Launch!
