Major supporter of this thinking, and did several sketches in this direction a few years ago: http://www.illucia.com/

Made of: 1) a suite of interconnectable videogames & apps and 2) physical patchbays to connect them

Came from thinking about software like modules in a modular synth. Playgrounds of interconnectable control structures. Was patching games into samplers, slaving text editors to drum machines, etc.

I stumbled over your projects a few years back. Awesome work!


That is really cool!


Side Q: can I ask what typeface you used for illucia?


It's 'Square Serif Medium' (Look at the css, or do Right Click => Inspect Element in your browser)


Side A: I use http://chengyinliu.com/whatfont.html to quickly check the fonts on a page with Safari, other browsers may have similar tools too.
