Krakatoa
KVM – Krakatoa Version Master
And another R&D tool…
While the supplied Utility is great, it is cumbersome if you frequently need to change from a production to a beta/newer version and back. This makes it a little bit faster.
Simple script to switch between two versions of Krakatoa. Handy if you are running a beta or a newer version that may not be compatible with what you are doing. Also an easy switch for between version testing.

CSV Viewer
Want to check your particle data? Need to look at what Krakatoa is writing in the Channel Data? Well have I got a 4-click tool for you! (spinners optional)
Note: this script assumes your CSV file has a header. (I may add an option to fix that later)

Krakatoa and 100 million particles
A small amount by some standards. Bobo posted a really cool looking image the other day during a discussion about pflow and nice turbulent wind. This is what I came up with. It is comprised of 10 partitions of a 10 million particle flow. The color is generated via Krakatoa Channel Modifier based on age and emission (self illumination) is controlled by particle density.
