Re-writer Burroughs-esque text cut-up

Description:

Little web application that analyzes an input text by cataloging the frequency of a selected segment's proceeding character (ie. the segment "an" can be followed by "d" in the word "and" or "g" in the word "angry"). Then, using a random segment to begin with, it creates a new text with the catalog. There are two user-controlled variables: the length of the segment (which can be thought of as the accuracy, longer segments will have fewer possible proceeding characters), and the length of the new text. The result is a semi-intelligent, often absurd, text that bears stylistic resemblance to the original.

Description put through the re-writer:

Then, using a random segments will have fewer possible proceeding character (ie. the original. The proceeding characters), and the original. The process can be repeated infinitely with the length of the word and or g in the word angry). Then, using a random segments will have fewer possible process can be thought of a selected segment (which can be followed by d in the cataloging the word angry). There are two user-controlled variables: the segment's process can be repeated infinitely with the frequency of as the word and or g in the length of the new text is a semi-intelligent, often absurd.
Re-translator Exploiting differences in language

Description:

This little application translates text into and then back out of any given language. Due to differences in language structure, and the translating software's literal interpretations, the result is often a slightly altered version of the original text. If this process is performed multiple times consecutively, the outcome can be a thing of (sometimes garbled) beauty.

Description put through the re-translator:

Translations of these applications, Mali, in all languages, and then returned. Language Translation of the following programs and another, and the literal interpretation of the results are often a slightly modified version. In many cases, this process is a line of consistency with the times, and can lead to problems (sometimes distorted) beauty. Try the same genetic algorithms, please.
A game for Kim In-progress javascript platformer game

Description:

My first attempt at a game; a platformer written in javascript (with mochikit) using the canvas element. Built for quick level and enemy creation. Currently only one half of a level completed, very buggy, may not work in all (or any) browsers. Art coming eventually.

Controls:
Arrow keys for walking
Space for jump
Hold up arrow to hang on ceilings and corners
You can also walk and jump while hanging
