programming for interactivity

We had a one week course on different programming languages. We looked into HTML5, CSS and ActionScript. In the end i coded a small application for Android using AdobeAir and ActionScript 3. It is a small multi-touch drum-machine enabling the user to create a drum-set with hihats, snare- and kick-drums. By tapping the white shapes on the bottom, a new drum is created. Rotating the orange pentagon switches between 5 different kick-drums, rotating the blue square switches between 4 different snare-drums, rotating the green triangle switched between 3 hihats. Using pinch / spread gestures enlarges the "drum-shapes" and increases their volume. The white stripe on the top edge makes it possible to reset the application by swiping over it.
