Kaos, the roadmap

My name is Joan and I am a lawyer [*].

mmm.. so, how can a lawyer write JavaFX applications?

Well, thats a wrong question, man. Who invented XML? A lawyer. Who was the best number theorist mathematician? Fermat, a french lawyer. Who.... well, that's enough for today.

Let's talk about Kaos, a Java FX application. Java FX is an interesting beast, a DSL with very interisting skills. One is closures. If you know Smalltalk o Newspeak you know waht I mean.

Kaos is a litte prototype or proof of concept. Also is a engine that will be used in posterior applications: Illiterate andIDEOLOGIA.

Playing Kaos is very easy. Your goal is to restore the initial order. In order to do so, you can drag&drop the scrambled pieces of the initial image.

Playing Kaos you will feel like Sisyphus a greek king punished in Tartarus by being cursed to roll a huge boulder up a hill, only to watch it roll back down, and to repeat this throughout eternity.


You can watch a demo of a KAOS session here:




[*] Well, a studend lawyer is more accurate.
