  praystation
( )
Evolving ever since we can
remember, the Praystation of 1999-2000 is a leader in
demonstrating the highest levels of complexity in Flash
tek and design interactions. From digital paintbrushes,
to Replicating Snowflakes, to Building a Tsunami, Praystation
promises the widest and wildest array of Flash Tek experiments
online to date - at best guess, more than 50. And as
both the showcaser and the teacher at the same time
- Pray delivers eye-fetching content, while more recently
he provides code from the experiements for others to
learn from - then throw in occational updates of the
authors' exploits with a smart interface that leads
your through all of the modules and you have one of
the diamond superstars of Flash Tek.

 Mr.
Noodlebox ()
Mr. Noodlebox was probably
one of the earliest Tek-nical sites online, and this
archived experiment - created before all the rage and
possibilities of Flash - still holds a stiff noodle
up to the competition. These Flash 'toys' as the author
describes them are bundled together simply for your
pleasure and amusement. Rightly so, this pieces are
fun, colorful, well designed, and they still amuse,
even if they were originally created in late 1997.

Attaining many of the same interactions
and effects as the above sites - but doing it in JavaScript
- places this site in a unique category for both Tek
difficulty and design! The creator of these visual and
colorful DHTML experiments (numbering about 15) throws
most people for a loop when they realize his work is
handled completely by JavaScript instead of the more
commonly tools (Flash). His command of this these formidable
scripting challenges is impressive and the resulting
experiments appear simple, but are subtely quite powerful.

 digital
experiences ()
Digital Experiences (UK)
is a fine representative of the experimental Flash Tek
sites, showcasing 'physical' interactions and some quite
pleasing control modules for your entertainment. The
digital experiences modules focus on some of the more
commonly seen effects - spacial, dynamic and repetitive
interactions - but also deal with type, physics, some
cool 'control' interfaces, and even creates some beautiful
pieces with their light and fanciful design elements.

 *Wireframe
Studio ()
A promotional 'byproduct'
from a design studio in South Africa, Wireframe gives
us several extremely tight modular interactions to play
with and enjoy. The promise of the site is both experimental
and commercial, as this interactive design firm will
eventually post it's portfolio, marketing, et. al. on
the site, while the experiments will remain in the central
strip. To date, there are 6 interactive experiments
to enjoy, mostly focused on object control and interactions,
including collision detection and more.

 Flight
404 ()
All aboard for a cruise
through a healthy number of spacial and dynamic Flash
modules - strapped into a airline metaphor interface.
Finding the way to your seat is half the fun here as
the 'inspector'-style interface guides you through over
40 modules to date. There are also a few additional
areas, including a user submition database and a couple
more that are currently in development. Robert himself
has said, in an interview with Extra Lucky Design, that
the idea for this site came directly from Joshua Davis's
Praystation, but that his goal is to make it even better.
