Closing down

I’ve tried the last couple of years to keep a blog up to date, but I’ve just not got enough time at the moment. I could make a snide remark that I’m going the way of the Flash runtime, but that would be harsh! Also if you actually want to keep up with my stuff it is better to use github or last.fm or follow me on twitter.

This will be around until the hosting runs out, which is about 5 days or so.

AS3-Libraries

My list of libraries are growing, not only have I got AS3-Mixins and AS3-DOM I’ve started to gather pass and add lots of new AS3 libraries with a liberal license (MIT). Quick overview:

  • AS3-Actions – AS3 Actions is a beefed up undo manager
  • AS3-Stream – AS3 Stream came about as the backing for AS3-Actions library to help with serialization, but has found it’s uses in other libraries
  • AS3-Logger – Another logger! You have to make one, as no other logger does what you want!
  • AS3-Transitions – The main aim of this library is that it’s simple and fast, use other Tween libraries if you want features!
  • AS3-UISignals – AS3 UISignals is a library to help deal with the ever changing interfaces which we have to build for. This helps manage touch, mouse and gesture events for components
  • AS3-UIComponents – This is the front face/GUI to UISignals, currently it’s in it’s early stages and is just a series of buttons, analog inputs
  • AS3-Spod – The name is stolen from haXe, which is Simple Persistent Objects Database Library. The aim to help with SQLite databases. Because writing SQL is just plain boring!

I’ll be investing most of my time in the components and improving them ;-)

Language

Why has nobody made a new language on the AVM2 (other than haXe)?

It’s a bold statement, but seriously why not?
Someone could have implemented a functional type language similar to scala or dynamic language like groovy, which sits on the JVM?

It does raise questions why nobody has thought about this before or have they and thought it was a complete waist of time. It surprises me that nobody else has joined haXe in the movement and attempted the same feat.

Welcome

I’ve been meaning to do this for sometime, I’ve finally done it! I’ve reinstalled word press, it’s only taken about 20 minutes including uploading to FTP. Hopefully I will re-post my old collection of posts on to the site, so you should see something soon. As usual don’t expect anything too often, because life’s just not like that.
