One of the things I like the most, probably at the same level of realtime audio and graphics, it's to develop creative tools to help designers create realtime content. While I was more involved on the Demoscene I created plenty of tools to generate 64kb intros and they made me improve my coding and UI/UX designer skills. I've wrote a little post for each of the tools and I hope you will enjoying them:

These tools have been used for some of these Demoscene productions
