Everything about Flash

The lack of saving and loading of scenes in ReDiLab, my Stage3D / AGAL based reaction diffusion laboratory was slowly driving my crazy. My screen was littered with countless screen grabs and my desk with scraps of paper covered with scribbled numbers.

My recent myriad of experiments with reaction diffusion models has coalesced into a single Stage3D based Flex application, ReDiLab (for Reaction Diffusion Laboratory). 

This week sees a few new updates to ReDiLab - my Stage3D / AGAL based reaction diffusion laboratory.

First off, my lovely friends at Finkk designed the funky logo above which lives in the 'about' dialog. 

There are two changes to the application itself:

The other day, MathsWorld tweeted a link to this video showing pendulum waves. These are waves that emerge from viewing a number of uncoupled pendulums of increasing length. If the length of the pendulums are just right, they exhibit travelling waves, standing waves and chaotic motion.

Here's another quick and dirty experiment with ActionScript Workers: I've taken two fairly meaty tasks: computational fluid dynamics and rigid body physics and created separate ActionScript Workers for each.
