Every object has a reference to the next object in the list. That is all. Like this: class X { public var next: X; }

“single linked lists” – I guess what I meant was, how do you store/manage these lists on an AS3 level? (because obviously AS3 doesn’t have a “linked list” datatype!), so you must be creating the functionality of this list by storing the data somewhere, somehow – that is the bit of the puzzle I was missing the most :)

Hi Joa, thanks for posting this. I really enjoyed your presentation at FOTB, but it was a lot to take in 1 hour so it’s good to be able to go over your slides again. One thing that I found really interesting was the Event system that you guys were using. One event, no listener registration, hooks etc. I understand it saves a lot of dev time. Do you have any plans to post about that? I would like to know more :)

Hi Richard,

first of all thanks for the nice comments in your blog post — very much appreciated. I am really happy how FOTB went and got lots of nice feedback. I will start writing definitly more articles on my blog covering the topics in my session.

I hope that you and others can get a better view and idea like that because it is always hard to follow this kind of stuff for one hour and also hard for me to explain it in such a short amount of time.

And by the way: Most of our objects are stored in single linked lists. We also use specialized linked lists with a sort of cached search head, standard red-black trees and the common stuff (Array, Vector, ByteArray and Dictionary). The tween engine is based entirely on linked lists and nearly all objects are handled in pools.

The session was brilliant, easily my favourite of them all. I really wish you had finished the session by saying “and here is the source to our Tweening engine” though :)

Is the way you handled the cable management in Hobnox the same method you use for object pooling / memory management in your Tweening engine? I really wish you had a few source code examples in the slides to at least give us a base to start from. I did not have a camera with me so could not photograph your IDE during the session. Would just love to know how you manage it on a purely AS3 level (i.e. what do you store the references in? An array? Lots of arrays? Byte array? Something else entirely?).

If you read the post you will notice that you have to have Flash Player version 10. The direct SWF url is http://www.joa-ebert.com/files/swf/lectures/fotb08.swf

Hello,
