During these days I played a bit with Artificial Intelligence for a project I am working on (big news on the horizon) and I’m coming with a brief introduction to the simplest game you can use to test artificial intelligence. Tic Tac Toe. It’s a pencil-and-paper game for two players, O and X, who take [...]

This is one of those days when you want to make a thing work that way FULLSTOP. And that’s it… this is the typical Blockage movement: I wanted to do it without any timeline tween or tricks to change registration point on the fly, just using localToGlobal method. If you aren’t familiar with this method, [...]

After another truck of Aspirin, Jordi Sanglas Molist is back with the 3rd step of his Worms tutorial. I’ve finished part 3. I almost got a headache. Forgive me if there are some mistakes, I wrote this post and the comments quickly. Now the character is affected by the explosions. To do that, I added [...]

Some time ago I published a Basic Box2D editor using Flash movieclips. Now it’s time to show you something way more interesting called Bison Kick by Jacob Schatz who runs the blog jacobschatz.com (bookmark it! It contains a lot of useful information). It’s an online Box2D editor with live preview. Besides it’s still under development, [...]

I publish this tutorial with the permission of Krasimir Tsonev, from Bulgaria, who runs krasimirtsonev.com (take a look at the light bulbs: don’t you think it can be done using a basic Box2D rope?). It’s an amazing tutorial with clean and well commented code that will guide you through the process of the creation of [...]

After having some troubles with the email, I am finally able to post Jordi Sanglas Molist‘s second step of Worms-like destructible terrain in Flash. Now the character can jump and move. I’ve also solved a bug: in the last script I checked a collision using the feet, so if the terrain was between both feet [...]

Do you know what is a Movieclip registration point? If you ever played with Flash drawing tools, you should. The registration point is like the origin in a Cartesian coordinate system, the default point of a Movieclip from which its x and y coordinates are calculated. In the example we are about to see, I [...]
