Holy Collision Detection Batman!

It is very difficult to perform collision detection. Usually, sometimes you need some kind of mathematical algorithm to carry it out. But Corey managed to do it at a pixel level and even at on gradient / alpha thresholds. Very impressive indeed! It’s funny to see the Stephen Colbert video. Highly recommended blog reading!

  • @lisamarienyc My two girls are one year apart and people think they are twins. Not! #
  • @peterelst Facinating. I was 12 years old when I tried that. But the 3D and under 5K. Astounding! #
  • @bitchwhocodes Great idea! It’s hard to find best practices to team development. (Aside from using tools like SVN.) #
  • @zedia Awesome! #
  • Ah Flash 8 Text issues again. I wish there was a Flash Text Layout engine for AS2. :( #
  • Downloading Flash Builder 4 and Flash Catalyst Betas (http://bit.ly/h5pBi). #

Flash Builder and Flash Catalyst on Labs

Flash Builder (formerly Flex Builder), Flash Platform | Posted by admin
Jun 01 2009

I was expecting this to come around in a few days, but I suppose that Adobe was so giddy with excitement that they put out Flash Builder 4 and Flash Catalyst on Adobe labs.

There is soooo much buzz around the Flash community about this, maybe as big as when flash video was announced way back.

One interesting site that Mike Chambers pointed out was scalenine which already provided some skins for use with Flex.

I’ve got to get my hands dirty on this…
