Build Your Own Black Hole with Stage3D and ActionScript Workers
Here's a little bit of fun using ActionScript Workers to calculate a system of particles with mutual gravitation all falling into a central gravity well and Stage3D to render them. Once the particles...
View ArticleCoupled Gray Scott Systems in ReDiLab
Inspired by the lovely work done by Tim Hutton and his colleagues on Ready, I thought I'd try to couple two separate Gray Scott systems together inside my own reaction diffusion application,...

If There's Something Strange in Your (von Neumann) Neighbourhood....
Despite being able to generate some very interesting visual effects in ReDiLab, my reaction diffusion laboratory, my Gray Scott implementation never quite worked as I wanted it to. Despite ages spent...

The Sweet Sound of Pendulum Waves - in Glorious Stereo!
I had a little play with Pendulum Waves the other day and since then I've been wondering what sort of sound they would make if I played a tone as each pendulum reached its apex.Well, the wondering has...

Fun With After Effects on ReDiLab Reaction Diffusion Simulations
I've been playing with After Effects recently, taking screen recorded output from my reaction diffusion laboratory, ReDiLab, and adding some post production effects. I'm no After Effects guru and I've...

Ctrl-Z Reinvented: A New Kind of Undo
There are a two major pieces of functionality missing in ReDiLab, my reaction diffusion explorer. One is saving and the other is undo. I've been thinking about undo for a while and decided that a...

ReDiLab Reaction Diffusion Laboratory Finally Supports Saving & Loading!
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...

Reaction Diffusion Advection - Gray Scott coupled with Navier Stokes using...
Here's an interesting twist on a regular reaction diffusion simulation: coupling it with a fluid dynamics system. Despite my best efforts, I haven't been yet been able to successfully port my go-to...

Advection Swarm Chemistry with ActionScript Workers & Feathers UI
Here's an extension to my recent implementation of Hiroki Sayama's Swarm Chemistry: I've plugged in a fluid dynamics solver (a worker used in my Reaction Diffusion Advection experiment) so that...

Vector Cruncher - Aggregate Functions using ActionScript Workers
I've used ActionScript Workers a lot over the last year for funky stuff like sound synthesis, reaction diffusion and swarm chemistry simulations. Workers are virtual instances of the Flash runtime that...

Trigonometric Gray Scott Reaction Diffusion (with ActionScript Workers)
I've played with the Gray Scott Model a lot over the last year, but I've never been bold enough to actually tinker with the equations themselves. Until now.I've often wondered how a reaction diffusion...

Trigonometric Reaction Diffusion Evolved
I've tweaked last week's trigonometric reaction diffusion model to get some interesting results.The main change is that the reaction term is slightly different for each chemical species. For u, it's...

Triple the Reaction Diffusion Fun with Ternary Coupled Gray Scott System
Here's another reaction diffusion experiment: three Gray Scott models coupled together. This gives some nice effects when wavefronts at different spatial and temporal scales act as catalysts and...

Experiments with Ternary Cubic Coupled Reaction Diffusion Systems
I've played with coupled reaction diffusion systems a few times in the past (Gray Scott and Ginzburg-Landau/Fitzhugh Nagumo), but the technique I've used is to simply swap over the values of chemical...

Vermiform Solitons in Ternary Cubic Coupled Belousov–Zhabotinsky
Simulating the Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction was my first foray into tinkering with morphogenesis back in January 2011. Inspired by Jim Al-Khalili's Secret Life of Chaos, I found this paper by Alasdair...
