Mathew Heaton and Joseph Warren (Matt and Joe) are two
students who write code in various programming languages, to
various standards of quality. Some of this is published here,
mainly Java projects for Android™ devices.
This was Joe's first real Java project.
It's an Android™ Live Wallpaper that uses the album art
of the last played track as a background.
This relies on an interface to the Music player being
exported, as a result it only works on some Android™
devices.
Pendulum lab is an android app written by Matt, that lets you
simulate a chaotic double pendulum in real time and create
beautiful patterns.
Simulate a chaotic double pendulum in real time on your
phone. Create beautiful patterns with the trace feature. You
can interact with the pendulum by using the touch screen to
drag the masses around. All of the physical parameters are
changeable in the preferences.
Also included is a single pendulum simulation, which includes
a drive force and friction, making it chaotic.
Again all of these parameters can be changed in the
preferences, making the application useful for education.
A simple, moderately configurable snake game for
Android™. G Snake is controlled by tilting the device.
Like G Snake this is another relatively simple game for
Android™.
This reinterpretation of the classic arcade game Space
Invaders strives to take full advantage of the phone
platform, instead of accurately replicating the original.
This Android™ Live Wallpaper creates a montage of
contact icons, and uses it as the phone background.
This program was written over a fairly short period of time,
however despite being simple, it appears to work effectively.
