Actionscript3, Flash, Java, C#, C++, Algorithms & Imageprocessing
On 20th of February Colin Moock will hold a session for beginners and intermediate programmers in Munich. The event is sponsored by Adobe and 100% free to attend.
Topics he will cover are fundamentals of OOP, the display list and events. I wonder why there are still seats left? Go register now.
Another experiment from scratch in about 40 minutes. Speeded up by a factor of 15. This time well know perlin noise particles originally invented by André Michelle. At the end I set the frame rate of the SWF to one which does not look very smooth in the video. It seems a little bit to slow.

It is really fun to watch speedpainting videos. Why did nobody do the same thing using Flash? Here is my contribution. A particle explosion in one and a half minute. The video has been speeded up by a factor of ten. The result is not very interesting but maybe someone will pick it up and do something a little bit more beautiful to watch.
Update: Original source is available here. Remember that this was written in 15 minutes total so it is not very clean or optimized. For instance the Explosion object will stay in memory all the time.
Since more than two years I think I was looking at Das Keyboard and never had the cojones to buy it. Since five days now I am the proud owner of this masterpiece and I am more than happy with it. If you ever hesitated to buy it — do it. I never experienced a typing comfort like this. The mechanical key switches will charm your fingers and the sound of it is completly addictive too :)
