LiveCoda Images


Muppet ESCI Labs (okay, so it is a cupboard in the ICT building). Four eMacs to be used by programmers, iBook laptop used to construct visualization which is sent to an LCD projector and an old pentium monitoring the laptop. Swap the old pentium for an IBM laptop and you have the setup used for LiveCoda.


ESCI Visualization Screen Mock-Ups. Left shows corrupted image with one channel flipped vertically and a second channel inverted. The right shows the fixed image. Four boxes display code modifications made by the the four programmers. Error messages are left at the top of the screen. Note that the code shown does not actually create an output image to be displayed. LiveCoda requires RGB values between 0 and 255 printed to standard out in ascii for a 256 by 256 pixel image.
