Pond Toy is a interactive web application, originally created in Adobe Flash and ActionScript3.
The idea for this project came from thinking about happens when you drop a speck of paint into water: the dot simultaneously dilutes into the water and expands in size until it no longer has a recognizable shape.
To play, click to create as many colored circles as you like. Use the interface to change which colors are used.
Note: Adobe Flash no longer exists, so I can’t put the interactive version here. I would like to convert Pond Toy into a HTML and JavaScript application, at which point I will add it back to this page!
