During the last days I received a lot of prototypes from different readers. One I want to mention is something called “a new idea in AS2″ by Shival Gupta That’s how he got in contact with me: Hi Emanuele. A few days before you published some info on Box2d library in AS3 and one of [...]

Today it’s the time to publish a demo/prototype of a 3D mouse-controlled cube sent by Andre Marianiello. It was made with code from the 3D tutorials on www.kirupa.com that I formatted into easy-to-use classes. Easy to make simple changes if that would be more agreeable to you. I will send source code if you want, [...]

Multipart tutorial: available parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 The sixth part of the experiment comes with a milestone of Circle Chain game: it reached 200,000 MochiAds impressions. I stopped promoting the game three weeks ago and the game, launched on october 28th, still shows more than 3,000 impressions/day. I know [...]

December 7th update: part 3 released This prototype somehow continues the Shuffle an image with BitmapData tutorial. But the real aim of this code is beginning to create a game like Split Personalities, a game released for the Spectrum in 1986 The game play revolves around assembling a number of pictures of famous people from [...]
