PleinCadre

PleinCadre is authoring software that facilitates the integration of visual, sound, animated, textual documents and specific programming into a coherent multimedia set. The graphic interfaces of PleinCadre applications are built by positioning the elements on the pages and by linking the pages together. The source code of the applications, written in "C" and specific to each of the projects, connects to the whole. The graphic and visual organization of the document, ie the interface with the user, is done via the composer. The application uses the multimedia libraries in order to integrate its functionalities into the graphic interface. PleinCadre technology uses the OsSpec multi-platform system interface layer, therefore compatible with Macintosh and Windows OS, among others. The usefulness of PleinCadre begins where that of commercial software such as Director, Authorware and PowerPoint ends, where algorithmic requirements take precedence over the graphical interface, in terms of development. PleinCadre is used for scientific calculations, relational databases, device management, network, image and sound processing applications, but requiring a multimedia-type graphical interface. For now, the composer works only under Macintosh. On the other hand, the documents created with PleinCadre are readable under Macintosh and Windows and the Linux version is under construction.

PRoman

The creation of multimedia films made with PRoman differs from standard editing methods in 3 aspects: 1) the positioning of multimedia objects, in time and space, is done in a hierarchical rather than linear manner; 2) some decisions, usually made at the production stage, can be deferred until broadcast; 3) the running time of the film is adjusted according to the viewer's interest. The objects, or boxes, arranged on the sheet of the PRoman editor, contain one or more functions. These functions for rendering images, texts, sounds or programming are linked to each other according to a horizontal hierarchical structure. The temporal unfolding of the film is done by reading the objects from the top of the sheet downwards. Objects to the left usually represent concrete functions like "displays an image" or "plays a sound". The objects to the right are mainly used to group concrete objects into concepts such as "sequence", "scene" or "Paule's arrival". These concepts are not formally defined in the PRoman language, so they are freely used for organizational purposes. The links, ie the lines uniting the boxes, define the type of relationship that the objects maintain between them during the spatial construction of the film and during its temporal unfolding. Each of the pages is built by applying all the functions of a linearity, starting from a leaf (on the left) and going up to the root (on the right). Thus, the functions common to the entire film will be found at the root. Similarly, the more specific functions will be found near the leaves. The succession in time of each of the pages is made according to the choice of one of the 3 types of links uniting the objects from one generation to another, from the mother to her daughters. The Obligatory link (in black on the edition sheet) will give a sequential succession of all the daughters of a mother, from the highest to the bottom. A movie built solely from black links will play sequentially like a standard movie. during projection, the images will follow one another as defined during editing. The Permutable link (in red) will randomly choose the order of succession of the girls. This random choice will be made at each screening. The same film thus reviewed will present the pages in a different order, at each screening. The exclusive Or link (in blue) will randomly choose only one of the girls. Thus, each screening will reveal new content elements. By combining these 3 types of links (black, red and blue), we can build a non-linear and narrative film. Non-linear since the organization is done randomly in real time. Narrative since, despite the randomness, the story takes place within a desired framework that is therefore understandable. The first interaction when viewing a film built with PRoman is based on the duration bar. The viewer decides the projection time. This functionality is made possible by the valuation of each object. at the projection, each sheet will be chosen or not according to the importance of its linearity (from the sheet to the root) relative to that of its sisters and cousins. PRoman is programmed in "C" language under OsSpec. It thus integrates certain multimedia libraries associated with PleinCadre technology. For now, the generative engine accepts image, text and sound. Animation, of the LopTime type, and video, QuickTime and AVI, will soon be integrated. The Liquidation CD-ROM was built with the PRoman software.

Vagues

An off-screen image made up of pixels in the colors of the sea is modulated and then presented on the screen. The use of sinusoidal mathematical formulas to model the movements of the sea is not very conclusive since the result is too mechanical and predictable. The addition of a part of randomness improves the movement of the waves but realism is still far away. The random cannot account for the chaos of nature. On the other hand, a very simple discovery, feedback, manages, by adding a few lines of programming, to make the movement of the waves realistic. Here is the algorithm. An off-screen image made up of pixels in the colors of the sea is modulated sinusoidally and then presented on the screen. The off-screen image is replaced by the processed on-screen image. This new off-screen image is remodulated and then presented on screen. The screen is transferred off-screen and so on. By this software feedback (or "feedback"), which is in fact 3 lines of programming, the chaos is modeled and, as if by magic, the waves seem real. This simple feedback, well known in video art of the 70s but applied here to algorithmic science, avoids pages and pages of mathematical formulas. It would be interesting to apply this principle of software feedback to the simulation of fluids, to the weather, to anything that is chaotic. Waves was programmed in MC68000 Assembler under Macintosh.

Télécino

A page is made up of vector graphic objects. This page is duplicated several times and its objects are moved and transformed. Télécino produces the adjoining images of the animation by applying a spatial interpolation between 2 pages. The graphic interface for vector image composition offers as tools: circles, rectangles, polygons with point insertion, B-Spline type curves, grouping of objects, editing by plane, etc. The interpolation of the images, creating the movement, is done either linearly or in a curved way. at a time when the use of a division was prohibited because requiring too much computational effort (microprocessor clocked at 8 megahertz), a curve algorithm was developed using only additions, subtractions and "shift" of registers (division or multiplication by 2). The result gives a fluid animation where the images calculated in real time run at 15 or 30 frames per second, depending on the number of animated objects. Télécino was programmed in MC68000 Assembler under Macintosh.

SGML, HTML and LopML

LopLop's SGML decoder analyzes a text file and detects in it the tags accepted by the target language. A tag is defined as a sequence of characters delimited by the characters. inside a tag is another tag or parameters. Parameters are interpreted as a character string, a numeric value (decimal or hexadecimal) or a rectangle. SGML decodes the commands, interprets their parameters and activates these commands. The commands are bundled into an external file and together define the target language. One of the target languages ​​developed is HTML. LopLop's HTML interpreter, although incomplete, is still advanced enough to serve as a graphic display for the BdLop suite. The entry and printing forms of the relational database and the CD-ROM display module use this technology. LopML is the other SGML-like target language developed at LopLop. LopML makes possible the complete construction of a multimedia document from a simple word processor. The document is organized into pages linked together by buttons. Graphics and sound objects are placed inside the pages and a variable mechanism facilitates editing. SGML, HTML and LopML work under DOS, Windows, and Macintosh.

Voitures de course

On a Nascar-type race track, cars move around avoiding collisions.

On a table game, the competitors roll the dice and advance their car, little by little, on a checkered track. at each turn of the table, the position of the cars is retained in a database. at the end of the game, the race is replayed and each of the cars will have to move in a realistic way, avoiding bumping into its neighbours.

For ease of processing, mathematical calculations are done on a straight track. During the display each of the cars is transposed on the circular track.

Since all the cars are simultaneously advancing to their next position on the track, an animation technique is needed that prevents the cars from overlapping. This technique consists of evaluating the movement of each car and whether, at the current speed, a collision is foreseeable. If so, it is necessary to decelerate or accelerate according to a priority given to each of the lanes. In order to be realistic, this movement is done gradually relative to all the cars in the game.

These algorithms were programmed in 'C' under Windows.
