As a follow up to my previous post titled “How to communicate between multiple Flash files with LocalConnection” I’m going to demonstrate a slightly more advanced way of using the LocalConnection object in Flash. (more…)

I mentioned a while ago that I was working on a Flash game and I think it’s time I showed an update. As you can see from the screen shot it’s had some substantial progress since my first posting.
Rendering an image to an isometric grid
Posted by Will | Filed under Adobe Flash, Experiments
I woke up this morning and was a little inspired by Keith Peter’s post over at bit-101 showing some pretty cool isometric visualization. I decided to do my own take.
This is obviously not showing any funky patterns like Keith’s but rather sampling a 100×100 bitmap and using it’s pixel data to render the colours of the tops of each block.
CellPaint.com - Open to everyone, again.

While it’s been a case of “in again, out again”, I have again removed the registration system from my flash based painting site cellpaint.com.
I’ve decided that I will get more contributors without forcing people to register. The downside of this is it makes moderating users near to impossible and this is something I have accepted. Looking at the types of things users have been submitting it’s obvious people prefer to submit “quick scribbles” rather than full blown illustrations as I had envisioned while developing CellPaint.
To help stop the site from filling up, cells now have a lifespan of 7 days from the time they are submitted. I am hoping this will help keep the site fresh and constantly changing.
