I love the assortment of projects you've been working on, and great design!

This is really nice! I made a super complex one a long time ago in undergrad Actionscript 3 / Flash... good times. Can't even run that anymore. I miss AS3. Even 10 years later Javascript barely scratches what AS3 could do.

  Same here. I have so much great AS3 code that I can't even run for myself anymore. I used to run my own billing app that I wrote in AS3 for generating highly custom invoice templates. Even after I shut it down I still used it locally until Adobe destroyed Flash Player.

    There was a pretty simple way to build a chromium based app with electron that allows you to run old flash application. I built this a few years ago for some customers in my old company because we had a flash backend which we couldn't port to js with reasonable effort. A quick Google research shows that chromium disabled flash a while ago but you should still be able to use an older version in electron projects. Didn't test it but could be worth a shot.

      There's a Chrome extension for a Flash player, so it may be possible to bundle it and enable by default in an Electron app.

  AS3 is where I first dove into another’s codebase - modding games was wild back then!

    It might, but it's hit or miss for AS3. Hopefully it gets better over time!

Very cool. I read you built this as you are learning music theory as an adult. As someone who also hopes to learn myself later in life, I just wanted to say thanks. All the examples / tools you have built are great!

Pretty nice https://i.imgur.com/vrNnWlP.jpg https://i.imgur.com/vrNnWlP.jpg I would suggest e.preventDefault() on the right click action so the menu doesn't show.

I want a programmable one of these, something between https://glicol.org/ https://glicol.org/ and this, so I can write a couple notes then write a "for" loop to get them to repeat how I want.

  Sounds like a euclidean sequencer to me, unless I'm missing something

Sonic pi is live programable music. Similar to this but not visual
