Wow, not posted in some time…
So winter is rolling round here in the UK, which means less time at the skatepark.
More time trying to push myself with geeky things.
One thing that has helped is HYPE.
The open-source framework developed by Joshua Davis and Branden Hall which lets developers express their creative side. I suggest taking a look if you already have not.
The core of it is relatively simple but it’s what you can build and extend from it which is amazing. Simple little experiments coded in 10 minutes which result in visual enjoyment.
I’m looking forward to posting my own exmaples and experiments from HYPE. So be sure to check back!

I find creating text fields a bit tedious at times especially when your setting numerous parameters.
So i created SimpleTextField, it extends TextField and takes up to four parameters, a TextFormat, autosize which is automatically set to left, selectable set to false and anitaliastype set to normal.
These parameters are usually the ones i need to modify on all text fields i create via code, so this class speeds up development quite a bit.
Download and modify to your liking, there are certainly more parameters to be used or removed like embed fonts or even the text to be displayed.
Download: SimpleTextField.as
Code:
package com.arcticcode.greenFlames.text
{
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
public class SimpleTextField extends TextField
{
public function SimpleTextField(textFormat:TextFormat=null, autoSize:String = "left", selectable:Boolean = false, antiAliasType:String = "normal")
{
super();
this.autoSize = autoSize;
this.defaultTextFormat = textFormat;
this.selectable = selectable;
this.antiAliasType = antiAliasType;
}
public function move(x:Number, y:Number):void
{
super.x = x;
super.y = y;
}
}
}

Probably the easiest 3D engine i have used so far, and looks to be very promising.

Showing support for a local artist’s new album, I knocked up a quick mini site.
Added some Papervision functionality. Check it out here.
You can download the album in RAR format here.
Enjoy…
