Cinder

CINDER PROVIDES A POWERFUL, INTUITIVE TOOLBOX for programming graphics, audio, video, networking, image processing and computational geometry.

Free
Open Source
Mac OS X
Windows

cinder provides a powerful, intuitive toolbox for programming graphics, audio, video, networking, image processing and computational geometry. cinder is crossplatform, and in general the exact same code works under mac os x, windows and a growing list of other platforms — most recently the iphone and ipad.

cinder is designed to take advantage of platforms’ native capabilities whenever it’s possible, and relies on a minimum of 3rd party libraries. this makes for much lighter, faster applications, and means cinder apps get free performance, security and capability upgrades whenever the operating system does.
