multitouch game ALPHA – Hippos

October 6th, 2009

I've been trying to get my Box2DFlash chops up.
And this is something I've wanted to do since I started looking into multitouch.

hipposSo without further ado... Hungry Hungry Hippos (alpha version).

NOTE: I absolutely love seeing my experiments and apps in videos on the net. So feel free to take video testing out this game and leave a comment with a link.

The code is very very very very raw and not very clean or organized, but if you'd still like to see it, just send me a message.
I'm trying to get it up and running in the Collider project.

LaserDraw – multitouch extension

July 28th, 2009

Now feels like a good time to get back into it. Especially coming across this site:

laserdraw1Sure, it doesn't seem like there has been many recent posts. It can be hard juggling a life around experimenting. It doesn't make it any less awesome when you see something and get inspired. Here is what I found, a AS3 script that would not just draw a line, but so nice ribbon curving and add a glow around everything automatically. It is just begging to be multitouchable (that sounds a little dirty now that I think about it).

"This experiment uses the AS3 drawing methods to generate an organic mask formed by several pairs of points linked with curveTo.

The generated shape masks a simple radial gradient and the result has a GlowFilter and a DropShadowFilter applied to it."

It works great, no doubt about it. But the source is there, we can take it a little further. Now I got a lot further than expected working on it, and the night is starting to get late, so I'm going to try and condense the main ideas I want to remember that are the most useful.
