Fluxus is a live coding environment for 3D graphics, music and games. ^[1] It uses the programming language Racket (a dialect of Scheme/Lisp) to work with a games engine with built-in 3D graphics, physics simulation and sound synthesis. ^{[2] [3]} All programming is done on-the-fly, where the code editor appears on top of the graphics that the code is generating. ^[3] Fluxus has found use in research and practice in exploratory programming, pedagogy, ^[4] live performance ^[5] and games programming.
