I’ve been meaning to post this source for a long time. It’s a project I created for shapevent<\/a> called Command Draw. It allows you to use simple sentence structure to create textures and patterns. <\/p>\n
See it in action here<\/a> (this one has some minimal UI and uses flashvars for the command string).<\/p>\n
