Revisiting
trying to integrate my compilation discography into the relationship timeline.
Legalistic glitch
really it’s the mistakes that make me happiest from day to day
back to the dark palette (i blame the november weather that finally arrived).
more backward-looking leafnode-ism, but force directed layouts are just magic for untangling messy graphs (not that this one poses much of a challenge).
back when i was writing echolalia and leafnode i developed a deep affection for the traer physics library. it was so simple in its node and spring model, yet captured such graceful dynamics in a way that the more collision detection-oriented engines seem to lack. i’ve missed it since i left processing behind, so i ported it to actionscript (detail forthcoming).

The Cave of Time
The first in the Choose Your Own Adventure series of second-person, children’s metafiction.
David Sky’s archeopterix-like map of the book (with grades assigned to the various endings).
All possible routes through The Cave of Time.
Each arc is a decision in the story, with the weight/brightness of the arc reflecting the number of unique paths that include that jump. Boxes on the horizontal axis represent the pages of the book in order, with bad endings colored bright red, good endings colored pale yellow, and mediocrity in between. Arcs above the midline move left to right; below it, right to left.
Detail of the final pages of the book
By way of comparison…
