Reptile for the Tiffhibition

In July 2008 my housemates and I put on a small exhbition, Tiffhibition, at our house Tiffany.

  • ART - Archer Davies

  • FASHION - Mieka Lake

  • COM-PU-PU-PUTER GAMES - Simon Joslin

  • ARCHITECTURE - Lucy Jeffries and Andrew Varendorf

I had the Nerd Shrine hanging and put in some pixel bead creations.

I also rewrote Reptile in flash as3 and polished it up a little. Results are below. Make sure to click in the window once to ensure it has focus, otherwise you might be patchy results. See it fullscreen.

Reptile

Description

The final piece is shown to the right.

Requirements

  • Mac OSX 10.4 [PPC or Intel]

  • Impromptu 0.989c

  • Optional: XCODE 2.4 greatly improves performance - see operating instructions.

  • Source code

Operating Instructions

  • Install Impromptu 0.989c

  • Unpack reptilesrc.zip and open Reptile.scm

  • If XCODE 2.4 is present on the machine, set the first line of code in Reptile.scm to (define use_xcode 1)

  • When using XCODE you must change the second line of code to suit the folder location. Go back to finder and find the Reptile folder, drag the Reptile folder into the Impromptu window and replace the "CHANGE ME" value of folder_path, keep the quotation marks. Make sure folder_path ends with a slash /. NB: This step is only necessary when using XCODE.

  • Select all the code with cmd-a and press ctrl-space to run it. A black window should pop-up

  • Click and drag inside the window to view Reptile.
