Bayer Mosaic Filter in Pixel Bender
Now, seeing as how I’ve been trying to learn some Pixel Bender coding lately[...]
Quick Sound Effects Generator
Need some beeps, boops, or bops, to go with your UI or games [...]
Playing Around with the New UndoManager
Included in the Flex 4.0 SDK and the, just released, Flash Professional CS5 lies a new hidden little gem of a class: flashx.undo.UndoManager (although the Flex 4.0 SDK’s been out for awhile, I have to admit I didn’t even notice this until I installed Flash CS5 and started poking around the documentation looking for new [...]
Some Drawing Fun and a Bad Movie You’ll Never See
Earlier today, Dave Gillem posted a link on Facebook to an incredible Processing based drawing application. Thought I’d have a go at reproducing something similar in Flash. Well, I failed miserably, but the results were still interesting enough to check out. You can play around with it below. Just mouse down to draw in the [...]
More With the JiglibFlash Terrain
Playing around a bit more with the animated JiglibFlash terrain idea from my last post, I wanted to see how it would work in conjunction with a webcam. So, needless to say, you’ll need a webcam to check out the results below.
Rockin and Rollin with the JiglibFlash Terrain
Finally got the chance to play around with the new JiglibFlash height map terrain, today, and have to say I am very impressed [...]
FITC in Quick Review
Well another FITC Amsterdam has come and gone and left its indelible mark of energy and inspiration. Thought I’d share a bit of what went on, however I’m writing this from a teensy laptop that came with the flat I’m staying in. It was a much appreciated gesture, but is not very conducive to typing, so this will [...]
More Augmented Reality with HTML5 && Flash
Okay, so my last post was really a bit of a joke. I was just seeing how many of the trendiest tech buzzwords I could get running on a single page, and admittedly, it performed horribly. I did learn something in the process though.
Flash, HTML5, Unity3D, && Augmented Reality
Can’t decide which trendy tech bandwagon to hop onto? Try them all at once! Okay – so I’d never recommend mixing all this crap together in a real world app, but it was fun just to give it a go and see what would happen. Thought maybe the internet would explode or something. To see [...]
Flash is Dead… Long Live Flash
Ordinarily I limit my posts about Flash here to its usage and just kind of sit on the sidelines when it comes to debates about its future. After all, though I make my living with the Flash Platform, I’m not an Adobe employee and they’re big enough boys to stand up for themselves amidst all [...]
Digging into the Microphone in Flash Player 10.1
One of the big (well, maybe it wasn’t all that big, but it was interesting) announcements of the 10.1 Flash Player was its ability to access detailed sound data from the microphone in the same way you can access mp3 data now. Until now, microphone access has been limited to volume. With the 10.1 player [...]
Game Timer Download
Just playing around with an idea for a game timer and thought I’d share the results for anyone who might need something similar. Basically, this is just an ‘odometer’ style scrolling number thing that counts down from a specified number of seconds to 0. It only allows 2 digits, meaning you can only count down [...]
Heads Will Roll
A little year end 2D physics fun. Just allow web cam access and use your arrow keys to balance heads on a platter. Kinda like being King Herod without all the mess.
Spirography
My wife mentioned something about Spirographs yesterday, so I thought “hey – why not make one in actionscript”. Two seconds of googling found the formulas I was looking for (as well as a nifty java example), and about 10 minutes of coding had something up and running in Flash. Play around with the sliders and [...]
Real Drawing to Augmented Reality
Augmented reality may prove to just be a flash in the pan trend in the Flash world, but let’s face it – it’s fun. So, that in mind, here’s a little something I was just fiddling around with: a small app that takes an actual drawing (as in pen and paper – you know – [...]
Halloween I
A little early Halloween treat. I just love this time of year. By the way, you’ll need your sound on for the full effect. And try moving your mouse across the .swf. For a real Halloween treat, assuming you have about 20 some minutes to kill, I recommend turning off all the lights, turning your [...]
