Ramblings

The computer party Digilab 2007 was newly held in Porsgrunn, Norway. I didn't attend, but luckily they accepted competition entries from non-participants too. I submitted a small intro that was originally meant to be released at the Gathering 2006 called Dot.com 2.0. It ended up at third place (out of four? :-) ).

Anyway, it runs in Opera, uses Javascript, Canvas, SVG and various DOM techniques, no flash involved, pure open standards. It even uses the Opera Animation library

UPDATE: Added some fixes for Firefox, but I won't spend much more time getting it to work there. I accept patches though, so feel free to send one

I also submitted this picture drawn by hand in Gimp, but it doesn't seem like it made it thru.

As many of you know I'm an eager Amiga fan. I also play around with stuff that people don't use until a few years later, like for instance vector graphics.

I discovered Amanith a few months ago, and promised the authors to make it work on AmigaOS 4. I postponed this until some days ago as I had several other projects ongoing and some exams. I thought it would be a lengthy task, but it turned out to be an easy compile. Just had to add some sugar in between and now it cross compiles out of the box with qmake and all.

Amanith is a vector graphics framework utilizing the OpenGL API to achieve accelerated rendering of graphics. By the looks I have had on it it looks pretty good. I haven't been able to test it head to head with AntiGrain though, which already exists for AmigaOS 4.

Here's a screenshot of my results:
