Kaleider manipulates images
to create sometimes complex pictures of reflected portions of the screen.
It is a capable graphics tool for people who are interested in symmetry, tiling,
tessellation and mosaic patterns. Aside from any usefulness though,
Kaleider is really just entertaining and fascinating to watch while in
Automatic Effects mode. Kaleider actions can be captured to
Video, and the Scripting feature makes it possible to design and refine
performances of evolving Kaleider effects, possibly controlled through a
MIDI device.

Liquib is another graphics
tool (or toy) that attempts to translate mathematics into visual imagery.
It treats an image as if it were a fluid, which can be distorted by various
transformations, creating liquid image, marbled paper and Droste type
effects. Liquib manipulations can be applied manually, or you can
relax and be entertained by Automatic Effects. Liquib display
sequences can be captured to Video, and actions can be Scripted to
create choreographed performances of dynamic art, optionally controlled via a
MIDI device.

Phota provides useful tools for
archiving and annotating your image collections into attractive, interactive photo
albums. Images can be added very quickly with a Mass Load feature,
optionally from encoded IPTC and/or EXIF data. Audio and video sequences can
also be incorporated into Phota albums. A handy Photo Index
provides a quick scan through all of the photos in an album, and Photo Search
finds and lists photos that meet search criteria.
Album pages or individual photos can be viewed as a slide show, with various options, and optionally accompanied by music or audio narration. The dynamic Gallery feature exhibits album photos on the walls of 3D Gallery rooms in various styles. Explore can be activated to automatically stroll through Galleries, pausing to admire each image.
The Phota Screensaver and an interactive Phota Viewer can be freely distributed, so that your albums can be shared with family and friends. The free Phota CD/Screensaver Builder program can be used to create CD and Screensaver installation packages. A sample Phota Screensaver of flowers can also be downloaded for free.
boxod is
a collection of four intuitive, visually compelling puzzle games,
each constructed of ‘boxes’ stacked into cubes or pyramids.
The 6 sides (faces) of individual boxes can each show different colors
and images. The games involve manipulating boxes and levels to match
colors and images on each side of the overall cube or pyramid.
These games are intended to be easy for fairly young kids to learn,
and yet provide enough challenge to interest people of all ages.

Wutch is an unusual
card game that involves matching picture cards in various
combinations to score points. You (a mere Human) must
play against two Computer opponents, one on either side of
you. Wutch is initially quite easy to learn, with visual cues and
all game actions controlled with just mouse clicks. However, as you
begin to master the intricacies of the game, it is continually
challenging (and fun!) to compete against your implacable Computer
enemies. The entire look and character of Wutch can be
altered by switching to a different Theme.
Aim high! Aspire to be included among the 10 most illustrious achievers in the entire history of the game by being inducted into the Ultimate Wutch High Hands Hall of Heroes!
