Multiple fingers and multiple people can touch the screen at once. You can change parameters including gravity, antigravity, color, and the size of your galaxy, and make gravitational text and typography. You can color the stars by speed, and make them dance with a music visualizer. You can tease and twist the particles into galaxies or explode them like a supernova. Gravilux lets you touch the stars: it’s a particle simulator and music visualizer that lets you use gravity to interact with simulated starts beneath your fingertips: a combination of art, meditation, relaxation, and zen animation. **iTunes Top 10 App of the year for Art and Music** "Every once in a while, an app will come along that has no practical application whatsoever but is just SO COOL that you have to have it! Gravilux is that sort of app." -iphoneapplicationlist "Of the millions of apps out there, none quite capitalize on the sheer fun and beauty of interactivity the way that Scott Snibbe’s do.” -CoolHunting Because mobile programming with Android is one of the main streams in current technology, and because he only has experience on Windows Phone and IOS, Zheng is taking the Mobile programming course to learn Android programming."Apps like Gravilux awaken an 'Avatar'-like sensitivity to electricity in the body, power in the palms and general connectedness." - New York Times Zheng says that practicing the Transcendental Meditation® technique produces a calm, relaxed mind and enhances self-knowledge in a fast and noisy world, leading to greater patience and productivity.Īt the beginning of April this year, Zheng returned to MUM to take two additional courses of great interest: (1) Mobile Device Programming, and (2) Enterprise Architecture. People should enjoy what they do, practice their skills every day, never give up, challenge themselves, manage time well, maintain discipline, and remain optimistic. To assist other software developers in advancing their careers, Zheng advises people to work hard and keep learning. He finds the quiet and peaceful campus atmosphere ideal for calm, focused studying. Zheng especially appreciates the MUM block system of studying one course full-time each month, allowing for dedication and deep appreciation of each discipline. He has been most stimulated by the Advanced Programming Design, Computer Graphics, and Algorithms courses at MUM. His MSCS program at MUM has been a big help in allowing Zheng to rethink the best practices for designing the architecture of game engines with efficient algorithms. Zheng Yang’s goals include making a video game engine that can provide realistic playing experiences, and developing a new art form called “Generative Art,” which creates computer generated music and painting. The book was written for aspiring game programmers who have basic knowledge of C# and object-oriented programming, and want to create games for Windows Phone 7. Each recipe contains detailed instructions followed by analysis of what was done in each step. After 17 months of writing and editing, the book was published in cookbook style, offering solutions using a recipe-based approach. Because there were no specific books about game programming for Windows Phone at the time, he wanted to share what he had learned. On his own time, he wrote the book, Windows Phone 7 XNA Cookbook. While working full time at Snibbe, Zheng was also completing distance education courses as part of his MUM MS program. Out of 50,000 apps in the Windows Store “Entertainment” category, Microsoft decided to feature Gravilux. After making a version for IOS, Zheng was instrumental in making a version of Gravilux for Windows 8. Color the stars by their speed, and make them dance. You can tease and twist the particles into galaxies, or explode them like a supernova. As you touch the screen, gravity draws simulated stars to your fingertips. Gravilux is an interactive musical starfield visualizer: it’s a combination of music, animation, art, and science. There he got the chance to work with Scott Snibbe, the pioneer of computer vision technology, who came up with the idea of “Gravilux.” Following completion of his on-campus courses, Zheng interned at Snibbe Interactive in San Francisco as an Immersive Media Software Engineer. While still an MUM student, Zheng Yang has already achieved a number of laudable professional achievements. Once he heard about the MS in Computer Science for Computer Professionals at Maharishi University of Management, he applied and began his studies here in February 2010. At that time he started looking for a graduate program combining academic learning and practical working opportunities. Prior to enrolling in our MSCS program, Zheng worked for about 2 years as a Software Engineer in mainland China. Zheng Yang has a strong thirst for knowledge, and the desire to excel as an IT professional.
