Curl - Code Samples

Several small applications developed using Curl can be executed by following links from this page. They illustrate various capabilities of the Curl platform, particularly in the area of dynamic 2D and 3D graphics.

*To view Curl applications, you need to download and install the Curl RTE. This fast, easy download is your key to viewing some of the most data-intensive, graphic-rich applications you will see on the Web today.

Please note that these demos are unsupported, "as is" software.

2D Graphics

Water Picture download source	View an image through ripples in a simulated watery surface.
Fire Simulator download source	This example displays flames by simulating them mathematically, not just by showing a series of precomputed images.
Image Filters download source	Explore the operation of various 2D image filters that are built into the Curl RTE.

3D Graphics

Rotating Teapot download source	The "teapot" is a classic example of 3D rendering. The Curl RTE renders it using hardware-accelerated 3D graphics.
Molecule Viewer download source	Hardware-accelerated rendering is used to show a 3D view of chemical molecules. Use the Help / About the Demo menu command to learn how to operate the demo.
3D Bar Chart download source	3D rendering is used to display a bar graph. You can change the viewpoint by dragging with the mouse.
Ray Tracing download source	This example does 3D rendering using rendering algorithms directly programmed in Curl software, showing the high performance of code generated by the Curl compiler. The Curl content language is also showcased, since active elements are mixed in with, and controlled from, the accompanying descriptive text.

Other Examples

Whack-A-Mole Game download source	This silly little game illustrates integrating audio in with a user interface implemented using Curl.
PDF Viewer view source	This demo illustrates embedding an ActiveX component (in this case, an Internet Explorer window displaying a PDF viewer) into a Curl window. Note that this applet depends on ActiveX, so it only works on the Windows® platform. * To view this demo, you need to configure Curl to give privilege to applets from www.curl.com.
