A new experiment: L-systems. Something that has intrigued me for a while, but I'd never quite gotten round to implementing it. In the end, perhaps it wasn't quite as interesting as I hoped, but once the user editable patterns etc. are added it might be a bit more fun.

Update: The source files are now available.

Added my colour library to the Open Source section. Has classes for RGB and HSV colours, can handle conversions between the two, can be used to find complementary colours, and has some functions dealing with hexidecimal colour values.

Added some more content, two Flash pieces (Text transitions and Basic 3D engine) and some wallpapers. I still have quite a few old experiments to sort through on the Flash side of things, but they require a little reformatting to fit with this site.
