Web Applications & Games
Scientific Method | May, 2008
Technology: ActionScript 3.0
The Scientific Method interaction was developed at vuDAT. We worked with Stephen Thomas, an instructor at Michigan State University to implement his idea. Stephen designed the concept and I did the rest. This project is licensed under Creative Commons, free to use.
Graffiti ActionScript 3 Bitmap Drawing Library | March, 2008
Technology: ActionScript 3.0
The Graffiti AS3 Bitmap Drawing Library is designed for developers to easily integrate drawing functionality into a Flash, Flex or Air application. It is free to use and modify for noncommercial projects.
Ecomap Creator | September, 2007
Technology: Flash, ActionScript 3.0
The Ecomap Creator was developed at vuDAT. I wanted to provide a quick and easy interface for creating Ecomap's. With all the general graphing applications appearing on the web, I think taking a specific approach works better for the classes this is being used for. This application is still in beta as we test the application to see if we are reaching our goals.
Jeopardy Game | August, 2007
Technology: Flash, ActionScript 2.0, XML
The "Jeopardy" Game was developed at vuDAT. I've created a fully customizable Jeopardy Style game engine. The customization is done through XML files, but could easily be feed by a more dynamic solution. The questions can include playback and display of images (png, gif, jpg), video (flv) and audio (mp3) in addition to text. Check out the demo to see it in action.
Wonder Wall | April, 2007
Technology: Flash, ActionScript 2.0, Flash Media Server, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL
The Wonder Wall project was started around May 2003. Wonder Walls were created to enhance Michigan 4H Children's Garden K-12 garden extended field trips and Michigan State University graduate and undergraduate classes. This was my first project using the Flash Communication Server and it was a fun one. We are looking to wrap this project soon and it will be available to license by all. Visit the site for more info.

Plant Prognosis | May, 2003
Technology: Flash, ActionScript 1.0
The Plant Prognosis was developed by Deon Foster and I at vuDAT. I was responsible for about a third of the 3D object models while Mr. Foster took care of the rest of the 3D scene including it's final construction and rendering. I built the Flash interface and all other 2D graphics related to it.
Braille Writer | December, 2002
Technology: Flash, ActionScript 1.0
This application, along with the Abacus below, was developed for an online class through Michigan State University by vuDAT. The Braille Writer was made to teach people of sight how to type Braille. My goal was to recreate a Braille typewriter and a system of recording docs created with it. I used this and placed it within a quiz interface, which is configured through a XML document.
Abacus | December, 2002
Technology: Flash, ActionScript 1.0
Along with the Braille Writer, the Abacus application was developed for an online class through Michigan State University by vuDAT. This application can record the user's movements of the beads on the Abacus and play them back. I used this and placed it within a quiz interface, which is configured through a XML document.
