Welcome
Livecodelab is a special secret place where you can make fancy "on-the-fly" 3d visuals and play awesomely offbeat (literally) sounds. "On-the-fly" meaning: as you type. Type just three letters: "box", and boom! a box appears. No clicking play, no waiting, no nothing. What are you waiting for? Try the magic. Press the button below and play with the examples.
Some pics
Gaaaa don't we all love screenshooooots. These are from the "making of" and old/new examples. For many more (and much bigger) screenshots see the screenshots page here.

Livecodelab was made possible by heaps of people smarter than us, including:
- Three.js inventor Ricardo Cabello aka Mr.doob and contributors
- Coffeescript inventor Jeremy Ashkenas and contributors
- Sound via Buzz.js by Jay Salvat.
- Some routines taken from processing.js library started by J. Resig and maintained by a wide community of programmers.
- The code editor is Code Mirror by Marijn Haverbeke
- Fluxus, a really cool livecoding framework to which we are much in debt, by the Pawfal collective
- Very special thanks to Alex McLean aka Yaxu and David Griffith aka NeboGeo for inspiration
- The TOPLAP collective for keeping high the live coding flag.
- Scrollwheel handler by Brandon Aaron.
