Open Source Software - Find, Evaluate, Collaborate - OStatic Andy Best | Interactive Media Art, Music and Electronics. Ismo Kiesiläisen mediakasvatussivusto Media on osa arkipäivää.

There are a ton of great, free applications that have been created in less than 1Mb - I didn't fully realize just how many until I started putting this list together. This is by no means a complete list, so if your favorite got overlooked make sure to share it in the comments! Desktop/Shell Enhancements Launchy (408Kb) - Hotkeys FTW!

It handles browsers all the way back to IE 7 and Firefox 3. Raphaël even has some support for IE 6, although some of its underlying technology cannot be implemented there.Do you need to support Android? Paper.js, Processing.js and Raphaël are the leading libraries for drawing on the Web right now. Choosing the right framework will determine the success of your project. All of the code in this article is open source and can be run on the demo page that accompanies this article. Overview It’s all JavaScript once the page runs, but the frameworks take different paths to get there. PaperScript is a JavaScript extension that makes it possible to write scripts that don’t pollute the global namespace. Processing.js is based on a framework named Processing, which runs in the Java Virtual Machine. Getting Started Paper.js: (al)
