Oscilla

A zero-install acoustic laboratory in the browser.

Generate, measure and reproduce sound experiments, and know how far each result can be trusted. Every readout carries its uncertainty.

Algorithms and physics drawn as glyphs.

Seeded, interactive p5.js plates: sorting, graphs, fractals, chaos, waves and gravity in 2D and 3D, each with measured readouts and a tested core.

    Article

    Science and visualisation

    Honest instruments and drawn algorithms in the browser: acoustics, physics, sorting, mazes, each readout measured.

    The category holds 14 original repositories, written most often in JavaScript, Rust, C++ and Elixir. Featured: Oscilla, algoglyph, maze-rs and big-png.

    Key concept: Data visualisation.

    How categories are made: nobody assigns them by hand. A repository falls into a category when its name, description or topics match the rule’s keywords, otherwise its primary language decides; forks and mirrors never count as the owner’s work.

    Concepts on this page

    The terms this page builds on, each defined in the glossary with a source to read further. All terms

    Data visualisationConcept
    Turning numbers into pictures people can read at a glance: here spirals, bubbles, streams and graphs, each drawn from measured data.
    JavaScriptProgramming language
    The programming language of the web browser, also run on servers through Node.js. Every interactive part of this site is JavaScript.
    RustProgramming language
    A systems language that guarantees memory safety without a garbage collector; Majordomus is written in it.
    C++Programming language
    C with classes, templates and abstractions that cost nothing at run time; used where speed matters.
    ElixirProgramming language
    A functional language on the Erlang virtual machine, built for concurrent, fault-tolerant systems.
    HaskellProgramming language
    A purely functional language with lazy evaluation and a strong type system; a place to learn to think in types.
    PythonProgramming language
    A general-purpose language valued for readability, common in data work and scripting.
    TypeScriptProgramming language
    JavaScript with static types, checked before the code runs and compiled to plain JavaScript.
    Web AudioTechnology
    The browser API for generating, processing and analysing sound in real time.
    p5.jsTechnology
    A creative-coding library descended from Processing, for drawing and simulation in the browser.
    Apache EChartsTechnology
    An Apache project for interactive charts: calendars, sunbursts, maps and large data sets.
    Alpine.jsTechnology
    A small JavaScript framework that adds behaviour to HTML in its own attributes; here the filters, drawers and palette.
    Flowbite ProTechnology
    A licensed library of interface blocks and an application shell on Tailwind CSS; every page of this site is built from it.
    RepositoryConcept
    A project's folder under version control: its files and their whole history of commits.
