ScriptFlash 
for algorithmic visualizations in Flash

Want to create Dynamic runtime Flash Animations the easy way  ? Use ScriptFlash , an intuitive and simple way to generate cool Flash animations at runtime. 

I was originally motivated to write this when I wanted an easy way to present complex algorithms or information on the web for which using Flash Editors would be a major hassle.  This can be embedded in CGI scripts etc. to dynamically generate Flash animations based on user input and database queries. Contact me for details.

This game is much more advanced than the ATARI version, and features AI in the enemies and satellite guided missiles.

Connect 4

Connect 4 is a popular game similar to Tic-Tac-Toe, except with a larger board and gravity for your pieces to settle at the bottom.

It implements artificial intelligence algorithms featuring a strong computer opponent.
