THE AGE OF ROM HAS COME

This is my public laboratory for presenting prototypes, tutorials, and general thoughts centered around technology, science, and mathematics.

ELECTRONIC FEATURES

vectoragent [v6]

08.30.2001
A rudimentary intelligence emerges as the vectoragents choose to wander (a new behavior) or seek based on an autonomous algorithm.

vectoragent [v5]

08.30.2001
A new vectoragent behavior has been added! Now the vectoragent will either seek or flee your cursor according to your whims. Improved graphics too!

vectoragent [v4]

08.15.2001
The vectoragent experiment is now a gamelike flock of single-minded hunter-killer cube organisms. Each cube now includes Nimbleness^TM technology! Improved code too!

scienceandart

08.10.2001
There are certain things I've given up hope of finding the empirical, absolute, scientific truth about, and one of the big ones is art. I thought I'd jot down few thoughts about scienceandart (and about algorithms, heuristics, and artificial intelligence).

vectoragent [v3]

07.26.2001
It's time to give our vectoragent a mind of it's own. A very small mind, but enough to make it finally autonomous.

vectoragent [v2]

07.25.2001
Next we add movement to the vectoragent. The agent's internal locomotive algorithms are complete. It brainlessly obeys you, but for how long?

vectoragent [v1a]

07.24.2001
Part 1a of my vectoragent experiment series, in which our autonomous agent uses vector addition to rotate according to your commands.

vectoragent [v1]

07.22.2001
This is the first in a series of ongoing experiments about autonomous agents and locomotive behaviors. This experiment describes the basic vector addition behind the whole vectoragent concept.

slidoScope

07.09.2001
Imagine the Flash stage not as just one plane, but as a stack of pictoral planes, where you can focus and zoom on the various layers as if using a microscope or a telescope. This slidoScope does just that.

colinmoock

06.23.2001
The Type1301 Mainframe Computer would like to thank Colin Moock for his book ActionScript: The Definitive Guide, without which almost none of this would be possible.

anaperture

06.19.2001
Ernest has created a little aperture movie clip to let you create and view little windows to scrolling worlds. Scrolls up, down, left, and right according to the user's mouse movement, seamlessly.

tapedispenser

06.03.2001
Ernest Borgnine helps you with Flash! The tapedispenser Flash 5 widget will allow you to create dynamically-generated lines using any line style or pattern you want - with no skewing or distortion. Check it out.
