I finally got around to getting this to work in flash. Its based on a great processing model here:Crickets Chirping. I think it could be used as a pretty interesting interface. We have a couple of ideas that we are throwing around for this. It was fun to finally sit down and sort it out. The speed difference between java and flash is pretty amazing. The processing code runs the packing algorithm 50 times per frame, I run it 5. The accuracy is fine for our needs, but the difference is crazy.
