I've got a couple of projects in the works centering around novel interfaces — specifically, some hijinks with Asterisk and my poor, neglected Arduino. The only problem with this is that it means I have to have something to interface with. Drat.

So, to resolve this issue I went ahead and wrote an implementation of Tetris in Processing. Since that's kind of boring, I spent some additional time (okay, a lot of additional time) rewriting my one original contribution to the field of Tetrology: a fancy sinusoidal effect that I came up with in high school (let's hear it for Pascal!). I hope you'll find it as confusing as I do.

Of course, based on early reports from my expert beta testers, there's a fairly decent chance that this will crash your browser. If it already has, uh, sorry. I'm sure you'll take comfort in the fact that it runs fine on my machines.

UPDATE: That's enough browser crashing for one day. I've moved the applet below the fold so that this website doesn't mean instant death for affected users. It's weird that this is happening — I don't think I'm doing anything too exotic. And I'd expect Processing to protect me from causing these kinds of crashes (and expect the Java VM, upon which it's based, to offer further protection). I guess that's not the case. Well, maybe a future release of Processing will produce better results. Sorry for the inconvenience.
