Developing games like Shooter in As3 can be boring without good explosion effects. Over the weekends, I ported a simple class ( from As2 )which does some randomized explosion movie-clips.
This is to be used when there’s an explosion in the game. The class allows you to create explosion effect based on number of particles, size of distance and alpha. All you need is to instantiate it and pass in the variables needed. See sample below.
Every wonder that, there’s something to display your run-time variables smoothly without using the laggy trace. Not to say trace command is useless, but at times is much less cpu intensive to debug values especially on enterFrame run time to an on screen textbox instead of using trace.
But, lately I stumbled upon a good console interface like debugger called Flash Console in a form of as3 class package!
One of my favorite class I used to include when developing games for flash is my FPS and Memory Counter Package. I use this to check my fps and memory consumption for my games.
This helps to identify which of my methods I wrote is taxing the CPU or not. Simply import package to your main.as and add it into the stage
I decided to share some how tos today for Gaia Framework based on my development experience. For those reading this the first time and don’t know what is GAIA framework about, try going to this post and read more about it.
Let’s get started – check out the list below for today’s how tos of the day :-
Today, I’m gonna talk more in general about my experience in Gaia Framework. Here are some of the details I’ll cover in this post.
