SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
This is a list of some of the experimental tools I have developed as part of ongoing work on PerformativeDesign.com. The front and back end framework for my core apps is a huge project and is taking a lot of time and effort to get right. However, I need to be able to see and test different parts of the framework as I go, so I often create small focussed apps for that purpose. As I also need to test out user interface elements I am working on, it makes sense for me to occasionally polish up these little test tools to create potentially useful demonstration and educational tools. For details on some of my previous desktop and Flash-based apps from some time ago, see the Past Computer Software section.

You own the images that you create with it, but you don't own or have any rights to the source code for the actual program or the icons in its UI. Exactly the same here.

Web Applications
These are browser-based web apps that use mainly WebGL and SVG. They should run fine in any reasonably recent desktop, phone or tablet web browser without requiring any special plugins.

The following are some simple experiments with different web technologies and concepts, available here as they may be of interest to some people, but having no purpose other than as tests or demonstrations of whether a particular approach is practical or even viable.

These are some pretty old Java apps I wrote using Processing. Their binaries are still available as standalone Desktop and Android apps, but you will need to have Java already installed and running on your computer to use them.
Java, Processing and life in general have all moved on since they were written, so it is unlikely that they will still work that well. All of their functionality is now available in the later browser-based apps described above so, whilst you may be able to get them working for archival interest, it will probably be a painful and drawn-out process.
