So you don't want to hear about my good day.
So adding new flame elements was not as easy as I hoped it would be, but that was mostly due to what I was trying to do with Core data.
As it happens doing things the slightly harder worked. The latest Oxidizer release can now add Genomes and XForms making it capable of building Flames from scratch.

David,
I am impressed with your work so far, keep it up!
I have one comment, if I may: instead of popping up the "save" dialog immediately after rendering a frame, could Oxidizer instead open the image first for inspection (at full size), at which point it can be saved or discarded?
I'm really enjoying creating new flames with your software.
Also - found a bug.
If you click the down arrow on "zoom" when it's set to 0, it loops around to 10000. But if you then change it to something else (even the original zoom of 0 in this case), and click render, the program locks up.
Thanks for your kind word's I'll look in to the 'zoom' problem for the next release.
I really must get into reading my own website, sometimes its weeks before I spot a comment :-)
craig, if you still looking at this can you do a couple of checks for me.
First do a quick repeat of the problem you've described above, then check the console
application in /Applications/Utilities, see if you've got a load of entries that look like...
chaos: 0.0%
Next repeat the test again, but this time deliberately click on one of the other
text boxes, or press tab to move to the next, or press enter.
I think that is happening is that you set the value to 10000, then change it back
but the change back is not being captured, leaving zoom at 10000 as far as
Oxidizer is concerned. Having a high zoom will show the flame algorithm
right down which is why Oxidizer looks like its frozen, even the preview
will take ages to move to a single percent complete.
By pressing enter or changing focus you make Oxidzer pick up the change
and it will render in the normal amount of time.
