Popular C++ frameworks include Platinum, Reason, Evocosm, ACF and many others, and now there is Cinder, a free, community developed offering from The Barbarian Group. It’s cross-platform, including iPhone/iPad, and was designed with audio, graphics, video, image processing, computational geometry and networking in mind. I always enjoy posting pointers to new tools that are developed by a devoted community and that cost nothing to use; Â I don’t know how much in need of another C++ framework the world is but again having more choice if you’re a C++ developer cannot be a bad thing. I’d love hearing feedback from readers in the comments regarding Cinder.

HTML5 Video Fun
Sean Christmann has been playing around with HTML5 video and canvas tags, specifically getting creative with the Canvas.drawImage() api call. Exploding video and 3D video–very cool! Â I realize that in the last few months we’ve done quite a few posts on some of the HTML 5 brilliance that is popping up all over the web and I’d like to encourage any readers of Digital Media Minute to go ahead and send any pointers to HTML 5 excellence that they find, or especially examples of it that they create themselves. It is interesting how a new tool could breathe such life into the creative process and inspire people to go further than they perhaps are used to in their creative coding efforts.
