Radius VideoVision Transcoder 1.0.1 is a tool to transcode from Radius VideoVision to Motion JPEG B. To install, put it in the /Library/QuickTime folder then reboot.
Enhancements:
- Fxes compatibility with older Radius encoded video.
Requirements:
- Mac OS X 10.4 or later.
Radius VideoVision Transcoder - Losslessly transcodes from Radius VideoVision to QT formatRadius Benchmarking/Testing Tool 1.0
Radius Benchmarking/Testing Tool - Send rapid authentication requests to a Radius server more>>
For use in stress testing or benchmarking a hardware/OS combination for running a Radius Server.
This RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) client program sends radius authentication requests to any IETF standards based radius server.
It is useful in determining performance metrics for comparing different radius servers. It can also assist in determining which versions of a computers OS and hardware platforms will provide the most performance.
Most radius servers support, and are configured to provide, both Authentication (RFC#2138) and Accounting (RFC#?) services. This program only tests the Authentication service.
A modern G4 running MacRadius will handle a sustained rate of over 60 authentications a second! (and, although nobody would ever run it that way, without logging turned on it can handle over 2100 a second).

DeFish 2.1.1
DeFish is a program equipped with the capability of making environment maps from photographs. more>>
DeFish 2.1.1 is a program equipped with the capability of making environment maps from photographs.This application makes use of technology that was widely published in 1986, 5 years before any fish-eye patents.
The intent is to provide enough capability to project a fisheye image to a perspective image, thereby allowing the user to use the perspective images in other environment map authoring software, such as Apple's QuickTime VR Authoring Studio. The primary advantage to this technique is to capture a much larger field of view than that
This software has been tested on a variety of fisheye images, from 16 mm to 6 mm equivalents. It is simple to calibrate for center and radius by clicking and dragging. A provision is made for barrel distortion correction, but it isn't very easy for even the expert to use; this is something for a future revision.
Transcend 0.3
Transcend can best be described as retro-style, abstract, 2D shooter more>>
Two features set Transcend apart from other games. First, its dynamic graphical engine, which can smoothly morph from one complex shape to another, produces striking displays.
Combining these dynamic shapes with subtle randomizations makes each play through a Transcend level visually different from the last. The second novel feature is Transcends musical power-up system.
As you play through a level, you are simultaneously assembling an abstract visual collage and arranging a unique piece of music. Transcend merges video games with pure art---it can be viewed either as a game or as a multimedia sculpture.
Though I first read it after developing Transcend, the Scratchware Manifesto captures the spirit that motivated me to develop a game.
Enhancements:
- Fixed bugs that caused post-explosion fade factors to become negative, which in turn caused boss explosions to linger on some platforms.
- Fixed zoom behavior when strafing.
- Added fade-in when enemies are created to avoid a visual pop-in.
- Added smooth turning when enemies switch targets.
- Changed so that pieces can be picked up while they are moving as a result of enemy fire. This makes pick up less confusing and frustrating.
- Made bullet fade-out smoothly at end of range to avoid visual pop.
- Doubled piece pick-up radius to make picking up pieces easier.
- Fixed jerky piece pick-up and drop.
- Added mini-explosion graphics to indicate when damage is being done to boss.
- These graphics also change color to indicate the boss health.
Gravitic Screensaver 4.0
A free retro-looking yet modern screensaver for your mac based on the laws of physics. more>>
Years ago I was asked to develop a little animation for a wait screen for a software on Windows. They simply wanted to have a ball move in a box and bounce on the sides of the box.
Well, that was boring! So I started adding some force fields and interactions to the balls. To visualize a force field, typically one will use lines, arrows, or some sort of vector-like graphic. While testing my software, at some point I got interested in the intensity alone. Not the direction. To represent the scalar I used a circle which radius would be linked to the intensity of the force-field at that point. I liked the visual of it. Actually, I liked it so much that I turned my wait screen into a screensaver.
Periodic Table 1.1
Periodic Table - A very useful and highly functional periodic table. more>> Periodic Table - A very useful and highly functional periodic table.
Our Periodic Table application was designed with ease of use in mind, and elements can be viewed in many different ways:
- Traditional table, colour coded with atomic numbers
- List view, both names and symbols in alphabetical order
- Sort view allows the elements to be sorted based on their numerical data, from boiling point to atomic radius
Elements can be selected from anywhere in the application, showing a detailed view of its attributes.
The Periodic Table is completely free of charge, although a huge amount of time was put into making it, so donations are greatly appreciated.

- iPhone
