Charact-o-matic
Robin Vernau’s Charact-o-matic has a distinctly retro futuristic about it.

It’s not working for me, and I’m on Chrome 5 and Opera 10.6 for Ubuntu. It seems like something easy enough to do, just apply transformations to the canvas coordinate system upon drawing each iteration. Shame the author couldn’t pull it off. Or maybe he did pull off the technical portion, but completely bombed the UI.

Robin, I’ll confirm that the demo isn’t rendering properly in Se Iron either.
George, you presume Robin is a “he”? Let’s see *YOUR* demo. C’mon, if you’re going to throw around big words like “iteration”, at least draft complete sentences. Otherwise, you come across as quite the poser, eh?
Compared to nearly every other “demo” linked to CanvasDemo, the UI for this one quite ingenious — it exposes myriad parameters to user control rather than just presenting a fixed/static demonstration. Kudos, Robin! You’ve clearly put a lot of thought, and effort, into creating this demo.

Samuel, what are you, Robin’s spouse? You shouldn’t be one to talk about complete sentences, and since when is “iteration” a big word? If the application just won’t work, what use is the UI? It’s either the application or the UI that is broken.
If you really want to see my demo, I’ll show you my demo on the condition that you show me *YOUR* demo. It’s a pretty good demo.

Why not submit them both to Canvas Demos and then we can see them
