AlgoScore - Music By The Numbers (Linux Journal)

AlgoScore is not a "graphical composition" environment, i.e., the sound is not created by the graphics per se. AlgoScore supplies graphic objects, but their ultimate content and shapes result from Csound and/or Nasal code (a Nasal interpreter is included with the package). Thus, unlike other programs that simplify Csound, AlgoScore requires some knowledge of computer programming. Fortunately Csound and Nasal are relatively simple languages to learn, and even a little familiarity will take you a long way into the possibilities of AlgoScore.

rRootage for iPhone

Japanese developer Kenta Cho has developed a reputation for distillation. Not of the alcohol kind, but rather, for taking the essence of the shmup--the shoot 'em up--and distilling it to purity by replacing all of the eye candy in the average shooter with abstract geometric shapes and objects. It also helps that Cho's games are free. His work is a favorite of "old school" gamers and others who love unusual-looking games. And his work--originating on Windows--has been translated to other platforms, including Mac OS X. So it shouldn't be any surprise that it's ended up on the iPhone and iPod touch, in the form of rRootage thanks to the efforts of Lazrhog Games.

What's Next For Linux? Unifying The OS Amid Steady Change

What's next for linux? There's no simple answer because Linux isn't a single entity but a galaxy of implementations and possibilities. The Linux kernel--version 2.6.27.4, to be precise--is at the center of it all, with the operating system continuously morphing into new shapes.

Open source in consumer electronics: What, why and how

As the primary gateway to voice calls, Internet browsing, audio and video applications, and imaging display, demand for consumer electronics are naturally increasing. Specifically, there is a need for more choices in hardware features, software applications and innovative user interfaces (UI) packaged together in portable devices that are customized in various shapes and colors. To meet this growing demand, consumer electronics manufacturers look to open source software and hardware platforms that allow unbarred innovation. In this article, we'll examine why and how manufacturers engage with the open source community, where open source Linux is and isn't succeeding, and how Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) is participating in various open source projects and organizations, including Google's Open Handset Alliance (OHA).

Nanotechnology that will rock you

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Forget boxy loudspeakers. Researchers have now found that just a piece of carbon nanotube (CNT) thin film could be a practical magnet-free loudspeaker simply by applying an audio frequency current through it. These nanotechnology loudspeakers – which are only tens of nanometers thick, transparent, flexible, and stretchable – can be tailored into many shapes and mounted on a variety of insulating surfaces, such as room walls, ceilings, pillars, windows, flags, and clothes without area limitations. The scientists demonstrated that their CNT loudspeakers can generate sound with wide frequency range, high sound pressure level, and low total harmonic distortion.

Sony Patents Reconfigurable Controller

1Up reports on a patent recently awarded to Sony for a game controller that fits together in several different ways to accommodate different types of gameplay. It also appears to make use of motion-sensing technology, much like the Wiimote. "This new controller isn't just another revision of the Sixaxis; rather, it looks like a complete overhaul of the form and function of the device, resembling a pair of ice cream cones more than Sony's ubiquitous Dual Shock. The images accompanying the patent display two Wii-like remotes with removable button faceplates, topped off with strange, bulb-like shapes. These glowing, spherical structures house LEDs and ultrasonic sound emitters, which would allow the PlayStation Eye camera to determine the controllers' positions in three-dimensional space.
