Wow, just been rewriting my “Particles for the non-scientist” session into AS3, and as we all would expect, there are major speed increases.

Extreme Pamplona hits MiniClip
Remember that huuuuge game we were working on earlier in the year? The one that caused me to stop blogging for about 3 months and cancel Christmas? Well it’s finally up on MiniClip. In fact it had over 103,000 plays in the first 20 minutes! And now after one day it’s had well over a […]

Code not working in MTASC?
Just spent a couple of days trying to work out why the same code base was working differently in two different swfs. The reason: one was compiled in Flash and one was compiled in MTASC. It was made all the more difficult to track down because the problem was occuring within some particularly complicated open […]

3D video projections in Flash
Last one for a while, I promise! Here’s a quick demo of video projected onto a cube with light shading and alpha. Looking a bit old now that PaperVision in AS3 is out… but more about that coming soon! [Demo no longer available] If the video doesn’t show straight away, wait a while. Excellent video […]
