Status update

It’s been a while since my last update unfortunately. I’m planning on updating the site at least once a month with new projects and experiments but sometimes that’s just not possible.

This time it’s because I’m an alpha tester for Metaplace, and I’ve been putting most of my free time into that. Check out the site, post in the forums (maybe you’ll get selected for the upcoming beta) — it’s an excellent project with a ton of potential.

But I’ve also been working on a new AS3 experiment that implements a blitting engine for sprite rendering. This allows me to display over 1000 sprites on-screen at once, as opposed to the 300-400 that’s possible with no special code. I’ll be implementing this in my upcoming Flash game. Maybe.

    Why is the limit 300-400 normally? I don’t know anything about AS3.

    It sounds awesome.

    ALSO I AM AWESOME

    With a name like ActionScript 3 YOU KNOW IT’S AWESOME. The limit thing is just a performance issue with Flash. Any more than that and you’ll start skipping frames and all that.

    EVERYONE. SPAZ REALLY IS AWESOME HE’S NOT LYING OK
