Playing with blobs in Opera

Wednesday, 17. October 2007, 21:39:16

, ,

A new article recently appeared on the front page of dev.opera.com called Blob Sallad – canvas tag and JavaScript physics simulation experiment. Technically, that's way over my head, but I really enjoyed playing with the demo described in the article. (It's pretty amazing what you can do with modern browsers that support the canvas tag.)

To experience the fun of blobbiness firsthand, visit: http://blobsallad.se/

Here's my late Blog Action Day post:Opera 9.24 : update now
