MUCHO THANKS TO ALL!
I would like to personally thank everyone who attended, as well as presented at, the 360 Flex Camp - NJ this past weekend. This was the first event of this type for NJFlex, and I couldn't have done it without the help from the guys at 360 Conferences.
Considering all the positive feedback that I've received, I guarantee more events like this will follow. Over the next few days, I'll be updating this site with Photos (if anyone has photos of the event... please shoot me a link), and presentation files as they become available. |
| 5 Things to Do When You’re Stuck Developing Your Game |
| We’ve all had those moments, when you have no inspiration for creating another game, or when you don’t know what to do next in your current project. To writers, it’s known as “writer’s block”.

| Flash vs Silverlight: Spiral Text |
| The application is implemented based on 3D Text Space. You will notice that the number of characters displayed in the Silverlight version is much less than that in Flash. It’s because Text Rendering in Silverlight is CPU intensive and too many TextBlock objects will make the application crash.
I think there are some other ways to increase the performance of using TextBlock in Silverlight. However, I didn’t have any idea yet. If you have have any suggestions, please feel free to share with me. |

| No Block Scope in ActionScript |
| One of the things that I most liked about ActionScript when I first began to use it was how easy it was to pick up after using Java for several years. I have blogged about some of the similarities Java and ActionScript share, but there are also some differences (such as ActionScript's support for switching on Strings). In this brief blog entry, I will demonstrate one subtle difference in behavior in ActionScript from what I am used to from years of C++ and Java experience. |

| Game Of Life in 3 Lines of Code |
| Seeing Jop Wielens' implementation of Conway's Game of Life I wondered if I might be able to figure out a way how to run the whole game entirely with Flash's bitmapData methods. It turns out that it works, and it even works pretty fast. And at its core it just needs 3 lines of code |

| The Flex Compiler Shell Daemon |
| It is a wrapper around Adobe's fcsh, which gives you back the good thing about mxmlc: it's a simple and traditional command line compiler, which compiles your code and returns back an status code telling you if the compilation was successful or not. This may sound old-fashioned in the current shiny-powerful-and-bloated IDE times, but if you are a hardcore IDE person, you aren't interested in mxmlc nor in fcsh anyway. |
