Hi everyone,
Just wanted to tell you that there isn’t a mmo on the way. The technique just isn’t good enough. On the scale I want to build You will probally get 0.1fps or so So I need to wait till actionscript has better 3D support.

I have written part 2 of the drawing api tutorial. In that tutorial you use actionscript to make a picture of a red circle with a star in the center of it. In the tutorial I provide the coordinates of the tutorial as the math to calculate those points is not covered in the tutorial. But I’ll soon post a tutorial about the math behind it. Next on my list is the math tutorial then the filters tutorial and then the events tutorial. But till then:
Keep on coding

I have added the tutorial: Using the drawing api. Part 1 This tutorial explains how you can draw shapes on the screen. Ill make part 2 soon. In there is discussed how you can create custom shapes.

In the mean time: Keep on coding

Hi everyone, I have updated my site template and my header. My header doesnt have a dark edge overlay anymore. It is now masking out the edge using alpha channels. Hope you like the new look.

Added a reset method for the camera. If you now press the home button it will reset the camera to the start settings.

Hi everyone,

I have made a camera class for all my camera settings. It can be easily called by saying:
var cam:ThirdPersonCamera = new ThirdPersonCamera(obj, dist);

where obj is the object it should follow and dist is the distance to the object. You can use the arrow keys to move the camera around the obj and the pageup and pagedown keys to zoom.

The class has a lot more parameters but those are the 2 most important. You can also the the min and max zoom amount. The start position of the camera (the angles to the camera) and another few.

Till the next update: Keep on coding
