Divine Dev-blog of the Mad Tea Lab
I don t write often here (and I want to migrate the blog away from wordpress!), but the project is alive. Some of the changes from the last 5 years: Mobile / Touch Support State now uses hash instead of query string, and state is continuously saved to the url The source code no longer confuses [ ]
I finally fixed streaming audio support (using the Web Audio API). The main streaming audio implementation was done already in Early 2011, using the Mozilla Audio Data API. However, this was Firefox only, and it was removed from Firefox builds in March 2014. You can easily play all visible functions as sound in the functions [ ]
I just wrote an article about layouting, check it out if you want some context! If not, then here s a simple demonstration of a layouting algorithm, try it out in Mad Tea Lab, or just check the video:
When plotting functions that grow rapidly such as exp and pow, it s hard to get a sense of overview despite good scrolling and zooming tools. Why can t we just graph it all? The obvious answer is of course that there is way too much space, but isn t it more fun to answer with another question: [ ]
Did you hear about the pi vs tau debate yet? It s not a big deal, my limited excursions of the world of mathematics gives me a slight preference for tau over pi. It s like chosing between overall-ugliness (it s ugly with two definitions for the same thing) or domain-ugliness ( wrong constants gives uglier formulas). I came [ ]
Another nice date passes by 🙂 Today I thought I would show how Mad Tea Lab can be used to prototype audio effects in realtime. Note that the song might need some time to load. Here is the lab, or, just check out the video below! (Note: Initially this feature used the Audio Data API, and because [ ]
Making an image more (or less) colorful seems like an easy task. But in order to make the colorfulness respond as we expect it to, we need to take human perception into account. A nice way to evalute color-functions is to use gradients that appear to have the same intensity and colorfulness. There is also [ ]
So it s Chinese new year, and what animal? The Rabbit! And what kind of association could this bring to an oldschool 3D hacker? Yeah, you got it! Of course it s the Stanford Bunny! So this is todays Mad Tea Lab exercise! Parsing and rendering the good old bun in 3D!

Check out this old school sinus animation! I just had to write a blog entry since it s 10/10/10! But also, there are a few features that I ve worked on lately but been too lazy to blog about, so this seems like a good opportunity! Here s the list: Loading and drawing Images Channel and Pixel access, [ ]
