Hi everyone,
Some of you might remember me from my work on Arki-DB, and also the skins I did for Epithett and Lucas ( PC Games Talk ). Anyway, I have finished my latest website, and its my own!
http://www.arkitus.com
Tell me what you think about it! I know it's very different from what it used to be! Make sure you comment on the experiments.
PS. Regarding the black and white tone of the site: I have chosen that because I usually get tired of a specific colour scheme quickly, and I want to keep the same design for quite a while.

Wow, I must say I'm very impressed!
The website looks nice, is easy to use, and some of the stuff you have on there is very amusing
I particuarly like the "Gravity" experiment

Hot. 
Very impressive work, Ali. 
Hey thanks for the replies guys! I'm glad you like it!
Do you have any suggestions for new experiments?

good work.
dull.. however, you don't go to your site for design, but for that cool flash stuff...

Not for a new one, but for the "Gravity" one, I think it would be neat to be able to fix dots in a position.
what does the gravity one do, do larger object attract smaller objects or sommat?
I don't like Flash websites when they're there to serve a purpose, but as an experiement that is very cool indeed

Yes, all of them attract eachother, but larger objects pull stronger.

One thing you could do is to click and hold one the balls. ( hehe )
Thanks Rikki!

ditums, great work!
Thanks!
Great work... Looking back, I did try Arki-DB at some point I remember - and it was a great tool! All in all, the flash experiment looks very cool

Yeah, but say if you wanted to get more than one into a position.
Looks good arkitus!
Need a "pause mode" where you can drag all the balls apart then see what they do when you un-pause (just a thought, probably a bad one too).
Oh, still in Britain?

Thanks everyone for their great comments
Ok, I've updated the gravity experiment. I think it's what you guys want.
And Matt, yeah i'm still in britain ( Edinburgh actually )

wow... Ive just spent the past half hour just staring at your Gravity Experiment.
Since everyone seems to really love the gravity experiment, I'd like to say some stuff about it.
The same program ( or something similar ) is used to model the big bang. But instead of using seven balls, they use 10 billion of them. That is amazing. If you add another ball to the seven, it will hardly work on normal computers.
Another thing that this experiment taught me is how hard it is to make the seven balls orbit eachother perfectly. Then you think about the solar system and you just go crazy. All these planets moving in perfect orbit for hundreds if not thousands of years. Anyway, I thought making things orbit would be much easier, but apparently it's not

very different from what I remember of the old arkitus.com, but this new stuff kicks arse!

and thats just 2d, imagine 3d
