Lose/Lose [Mac, Games, openFrameworks]

New experimental app from Zach Gage comes in the form of space invaders shooter with an edge to gameplay. Toying with the idea of “consequence”, everything that happens while you play is real. Each alien is procedurally generated out of a file on your computer. When you kill an alien, the file it was created from is destroyed. On the other hand, if you are killed, the application itself will be destroyed.

Cells [Mac]

Cells is a sound sequencer that uses Conway’s Game of Life to generate notes. Each box of each layer can be tuned to a collection of notes. The notes go from left to right, and are frequency modulated from top to bottom. Each layer has it’s own set of notes. Because Conway’s game of life often ends, layers can be set to loop, playing a certain number of iterations and then returning to the start.
