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 [...]
If you understand German I would strongly recommend you to read the article series about AS3 development at the blog of Jens Franke. Jens is about to release around 10 to 15 posts in the next two weeks in his special. And reading is not only worthwhile for your own knowledge. There will be a [...]
For the hell of it I wanted to implement the fast inverse square-root that has been flying around in the Quake3 source-code for instance. Fantastic game by the way. There has been quiet a lot of talk about this algorithm. So can we do that with Flash? No we can not. It would be nice [...]
Some weeks ago Marc Thiele showed me a link that was about the kinetic sculptures from Theo Jansen. If you do not know about him yet check out strandbeest.com. There are a couple of videos on YouTube describing the technique behind those sculptures (click me). Now I just saw a demo from APE which has [...]
Since we are planing to release a detailed paper about AS3 optimizations and techniques I was thinking about another optimization for one of the daily problems. Looping through an array that contains objects. The fastest code to do this is [as]for (;i
