In a recent post I talked about how I built a bridge between two code worlds. In particular, I created a parallel set of software libraries, so that the same content I created for my Chalktalk presentation system can also be put on the Web, in the form of interactive diagrams for on-line documents.
As it happens, last year I ported my Responsive Face Java applet into Javascript so I could show it in Chalktalk. I decided to use this as a test case.
I’ve now managed to get the responsive face working as a Javascript interactive diagram, along with basic interactive controls. I still need to put in the full set of controls, but at this point it’s ready enough that it’s interesting to play with.

I wish the emotive actors demo would work again. It was amazing to me. So much life in such a simple world.
Please do that one next. Or send me the code and let me try…
