The Ecosystem Engine is a JavaScript and XML driven viewer and editor for animated, sprite driven simulations.  It is akin to a web browser, except instead of web pages, it runs animations in which the "actors" interact and react to each other and the environment in such a way that the animation is never the same twice. The engine will have support for several input sources, including webcam data, online data, and direct user input via a keyboard or mouse.

The Ecosystem source code will be published to dev.eyebeam.org as soon as possible.  We are currently looking for coders interested in animation to contribute to the development of this project.
