What is… Doomlaser?
I’ve wanted to have a place to post small projects, maybe talk about the video game I’m writing (screenshot), the Macintosh, and other assorted matters. So here it is: Doomlaser.
Could I have picked a cheesier, more puerile name? Maybe, maybe not. But now I’m stuck with it.
I figured I’d start off with something innocuous, but also maybe kind of cool. Below is a QuickTime movie of a quartz composition that visualizes your Mac’s incoming audio in the form of floating pink cubes that leave a comet trail.
If you’re running a Mac OS X 10.4 or later, click on it, and then try shouting, clapping near your microphone, or playing really loud music.
If you are not running OS X 10.4, do not click on it. I’m not sure what will happen, but my guess is it’ll involve a dialog box.
But wait a minute, who are you?
At this point, if you’re reading this, I’m assuming you already know me. But for future posterity, allow me to introduce myself… by way of a list!

Hey, actually i was reading this and i didn’t know you, so it’s nice to see who’s writing.
Probably you are thinking where did i came from…google is the answer. I’ll be buying a new laptop soon and i was thinking about a macbook pro, but i want to start in game development and i’ve been searching the best platforms. I guess most ppl use windows because of visual studio, xna, bla bla, and directx. As i want this laptop to last, and as i want to get a place into the industry and i guess most of companies use win, i was searching for anyone using mac to program some games. And thats how i found your lasers.
Nice work, take care!
