JPEGlitch test suite
Well, it's been a while, but I finally got an improved test suite together for my JPEG glitching experiments.
The code available here includes the previously released JPEGlitch and JPEGlitch for HYPE, as well as the source for the 'decode glitching', where the JPEG bytes are mangled to add glitches before being loaded.
The interface allows you to control various glitch parameters and you can either process continuously or one step at a time. Each module has a pre-made set of parameters - choose 'example' in the snapshots drop-down of a module window to select them. You can also load /save JPEG images to your local file-system.
The UI might have some minor bugs, but it's usable. I've modified the lovely minimalcomps UI component set from bit-101, adding a custom framework for easy creation of parameter based interfaces. I also added bitmap icons to minimalcomps - compiling the 1000 famfamfam silk icons into a handy SWC - with all icons pre-compiled into buttons for importing into the project. Read more about creating the icon library, read the set-up guide, and get the code to do it separately, here.
This update is a step on the way to a larger 
suite of byte-glitching tools for images, audio, video, text, or any other file you might want to mess with... no eta. on that, but it's in the brain pipes.
Awesome! Pure glitching-fun with a sweet UI.
This screams for an AIR2 version that writes image sequences or directly encodes video
If I where a VJ…
Cheers
I’m certainly open to suggestions as to where to go with it next. I think an Air version is inevitable, it makes a lot of sense to make it a desktop app.
