This is a very simple script which allows you to create mathematical networks (or graphs). To create a node, click once, after that to connect two nodes, click inside one node, and drag to the other node, and release your mouse. You can also click on a create node, and drag outside to somewhere in the empty space and create a new node.

This is a simple compass, created in Flash. I'm just intending it as a demonstration tool for one of my classes.

I'm not sure why I ported this, probably mostly as practice converting JavaScript applications to Flash applications. Works identically.

You can view the interactive Venn diagrams here.

So I finally managed to work out the kinks and convert the Spaceship game (reminds me a bit of Asteroids(tm) from ages ago).

There are a couple of minor bugs (like you have to click on the game itself to be able to use the keyboard commands).

You can view it here.

So this is a very simple videoplayer that I wrote which allows you to step through a movie frame by frame, which my the software installed on my school's server doesn't seem to do. We needed this so we could work on a project in mathematics related to modelling parabolas.

You can see it here.

So I decided, somewhat arbitrarily, to convert my JavaScript "Game of Life" to Flash, and it does seem to make a performance difference. Flash just seems to run faster and smoother than JavaScript does.

Check it out here.

I was having difficulty turning my Towers of Hanoi game into a Google Gadget, presumably because it uses absolute positionining, and IE wasn't displaying it properly (actually it was blank in IE). So I've converted it to Flash, made some minor improvements, and I'm using someone else's Tooltip class (http://www.neo-archaic.net) to make the nice tooltips show up when you click the button.

So this morning I converted the Vector transformations thing I built in JavaScript that uses the Canvas element (with support from Google's excanvas.js script that brings the canvas element to Internet Explorer) to Flash because I wanted to make sure my students would be able to use it. Apparently our school network may not allow external JScript files to run (speculation on my part).

You can view the Flash version here.

This is a slideshow program I wrote, it comes with some music that plays along as the slides progress, if you click on the play button the slideshow will move automatically, one slide every 10 seconds. All of the images are loaded on the fly, as is the audio, which makes the actual download of the flash relatively easy.

This is a very simple Flash movie that lets you draw rectangles in it by clicking and dragging the mouse inside the movie frame. Give it a shot.
