Frankly it not only equals the now aged firebug, it surpasses it.

Microsoft welcome back from the widerness, now if you could only backdoor
force upgrade all IE6 users out there, all sins would be forgiven.

2008 -> AI Bots Experiments (Revisited in AS3)

Ah…. to be 25 again… me at 25 =>

As stated in the last post, i’ve finally finished the T in the Park Channel T flash application, which any second should be going live… any second… any second at all

It was a great project working with good friends and collegues, learning the wonders of away3D, flcikr, swfAddress, and all those nice wee quirks of the flash IDE

One fo my afvourate features unfortunately not ready for release was the bot crowd, the idea was these would wander around in a 3d environment, surrounded by the various music stages of T in the Park, when you rolled over the stage the little bots would swarm towards it, a nice cute effect.

I got pretty close but ultimately what works well for animals, fishes, and mircobes is really hard to get realistic for thinking wandering humans, and with the deadline looming that was that

simple as3 bots

slightly more complex as3 bots

even more complex as3 in 3d pretendign to be humans badly

Ps

I’ve now made it a promise to myself to give flex a try

Sometime you feel so proud, sage stats now support flash

Had an issue in VR look what got added :)
