Web based image editor
Photoshop ? Flattering, but it's not quite the same. BitMappery does however allow you to import photos (and Photoshop files), draw images, apply transformations, create freeform selections, tweak filters and mask content in a non-destructive manner. It has some overlap in functionality but is definitely a more simple p...
Web based music maker
Efflux is a Progressive Web Application allowing you to create music within your browser, either on- or offline on anything from a phone to desktop machine.
Efflux uses a tracker-type approach for writing compositions; in a tracker a sequence of music is traditionally represented using numeric input: both notes and par...
Commodore 64 synthesizer
Having been tempted to test the WebAudio API's capabilities beyond my initial WebAudio experiment, this experiment is built upon parts of the audio engine I created for Android's MikroWave by porting the C++ code to JavaScript so it can run inside a web browser.
A very peculiar synth...
Rather than creating a "new" ...
Android synthesizer & drummachine
After having found that Google Play didn't offer as much in the way of actual sound synthesizers (rather than sample-based apps!) as were available to iOS users, I took on the experiment of writing a sequenced synthesizer without having any "how to"-guides at my disposal.
The goal of the application quickly became...
Algorithmic generation of musical compositions
Algorithmic composition is an automated process where given a set of particular inputs, a unique compositions can be created. The algorithm is deterministic, which implies that the same input will always generate the same output.
The Molecular Music Generator (MMG) can be used to generate musical patterns w...
Guitar scale visualiser
Tuning Spork! is a simple utility aimed at guitarists:
The application allows selection of a plethora of scales, ranging from the usual suspects (major, minor, pentatonic...) to the more esoteric types (Hungarian minor, Han Kumoi, Hatakambari...).
Upon selection, all notes of the scale are visualized on the on-screen fretboard, sho...
Gravity sequencer for Android
1: the great world : universe
2: a complex that is a large-scale reproduction of one of its constituents
in less vague terms: kosm is an abstract audio sequencer. Whereas the convention is to align musical events in perfect time slots and at a given pitch, kosm triggers audio via the concept of gravity a...
Web based Atari 2600 music tracker
Slocum Tracker is a utility that enables people to write musical compositions for the Atari 2600 using a tracker-style interface, directly from their web browser.
The real star is Slocum's Sequencer Kit (where the application derives its name from), a music driver that is very efficient on the Atari 2600's C...
Vertical scrolling shoot 'em up
The horribly titled "Weltkriegsimulator" (WKS) is a an hommage to Toaplan shoot 'em ups.
It's not exactly a full-on multi level gaming experience meant for entertainment purposes (though it does contain multiple levels, power ups, bosses and high scores).
Instead the game serves as a showcase of igorski's open sourceĀ zCan...
One-click staring contest
Meneer Eend (Mister Duck) is a very simple game. The purpose of the game is to tap the duck whenever he is looking at you directly. Should he be looking away while you tap him, you lose immediately.
Sounds simple enough, but beware his distractive manoeuvres and blazing eye movement speeds as the game progresses!
Web based music toy
As the WebAudio API was slowly but surely being incorporated in all major browsers, a small experiment showcasing its possibilities was in order. The WebAudio API finally provides a means to write (and thus synthesize!) audio inside the web browser through JavaScript.
While the high level JavaScript language is too limited for pro...
