MUM MSCS Student Zheng Yang creates Windows App Featured by Microsoft

 

Zheng Yang: Gravilux for Windows

MUM ComPro student Zheng Yang (February 2010 entry) recently created a mobile application called Gravilux which was featured in the Windows Store under the Entertainment category by Microsoft out of 50,000 apps. 

Gravilux is an interactive musical starfield visualizer: it's a combination of music, animation, art, and science. As you touch the screen, gravity draws simulated stars to your fingertips. You can tease and twist the particles into galaxies, or explode them like a supernova. You can color the stars by their speed, and make them dance to the music from your play list. You can change parameters including gravity and number of stars, and enable antigravity and color. Multiple fingers and multiple people can touch the screen at once, collaborating or competing.
