Pretty impressive. Since your last post I wanted to test your project on some of my works like this http://wonderwhy-er.deviantart.com/art/Collision-Sparks-99408656 or this http://wonderwhy-er.deviantart.com/art/A-W-C-A-F-I-T-135334558 to see how much difference in performance I can get as I use a lot of my own code there and probably there is much to optimize there. Will wait for your new commit with those new optimizations and will try to test it + post results here.

No, not at all. But I think I saw somewhere a different specification for *.abc files so maybe that is the reason (and that would be expected). I will have to look into that.

yes , i noticed :)
the TODOS answered my first question ;)
it’s still fun to play around with it though.

by the way, if you use the ‘builtin.abc’ from the latest tamarin-redux , TAAS doesn’t read it in correctly.
is this expected ?

oli: I guess this does not make sense at the moment. TAAS is not complete and people would just complain that it does not work. Just take a look at all the TODO()s in TaasBuilder :)

there may be no compiled version of the compiler, but with joas taas framework it is really easy to write a little tool yourself and add it to the collection of tdsi, reducer and dump.
its basically just a matter copy and paste, since the most important stuff is already written by joa.
i could make my version of such a tool publicly available ,if someone is interested.

If you can not compile it because you do not have Java 1.6 you will not be able to run it.

There is also no compiled version available since this is a work in progress. Compiling and running the compiler is not so easy at the moment.

Is there a compiled version I could test?
Can’t compile the source on Mac, I guess I don’t have 1.6 runtime.

That is the Flash Player on the MAC. It will not run faster than 60fps. But have a look at the milliseconds in the stats window :)

your work really boosts urge do tryout something new again!

here may not be the right place to ask such things but i am asking myself: sucessfully compiled ap.core + ap.test.as3, did run the unit test, got new swf’s in the asset folder, when diffing’em (test03) i can see inlining has happended, but on my mac, both swfs running exactly at the same speed (∼58fps), not like your wonderful fotb example…
is this fp on mac? or just me stupid?

very cool the fotb session is online!

exiting stuff!
every math teacher would be jealous as hell, if he could see the reactions, you provoked, at the conference …

so anyway, what is actually not yet possible with TAAS?
In other words, what is keeping us from using it on production-level right now?

I browsed through the TODO-List on Apparats googlecode page… but it might as well be written in Japanese as far as I understand ;)

keep it up and freundliche gruesse ;)

Actually, I am at the MAX Unconference thanks to Influxis :)

This is fantastic – you’re not by any chance presenting at MAX are you? I’d love to see a presentation on this.

Hm… The ‘Tail recursion’ samples eat about 2 GB of my RAM [!]

Of course!
I saw a LOT text appearing on the console. I can send it to you if help you somehow. My msn is the same as my e-mail.

Again, great work! It will help the entire flash development community.

edgardz: It could be possible that your SWF resulted in a runtime error. Did you see something show up?

Besides, if you want to try it out, I have added a new test and all my AS3 sources that definitly work. Although: a lot is still in development, so stuff can break.

Hi, i tried TaasCompilerTests.java pointing test00 to my swf. After 56s another swf was generated, but i cant run it. Probrably im forgeting something… But congrats, your results are amazing! (sorry about my english)
