http://forum.alternativaplatform.com/forums/show/7.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net I would like to make a 3D car game, like Ridge Racer, OutRun, NFS ecc.

Is there any nice tutorial to follow to accomplish this?

I have some experience in 2d and 3d gaming,
but I have absolutely no idea how to make the car follow uphill/downhill of a 3D environment.

Thanks

I was playing around with Stage3D in Flash Player RC1 these days and everything is ok.
Today I tried AIR3, using the same swf sample I was using with FP11.

In the browser (Firefox 6/7) performance was great!
60FPS in my Radeon HD 6630M. The browser was maximized (1366x768).

When I ran in the AIR Debug Player RC I knew that performance shouldn't be so good (it's a debug player, after all).
The window have only 800x600, but the FPS is between 20 and 30 when I move the camera.
Then I tried in AIR3 RC, but the result was the same, 30 FPS.

I thought that running under AIR was faster than run under FP...
Is there anybody else having trouble with performance too?

I've been working on a project (close to the deadline, meh) that has a 3D view of bitmaps all placed at a random x and z position in space.
These bitmaps are images of people, all .PNG and projected on flat planes facing the camera. The view is interactive, so when the user clicks on a person, the camera zooms in at that particular object.
My problem is that when I click on a transparent part of a bitmap, I can't select underlaying objects. Like clicking next to the head, through legs etc. all 'open' areas.
I tried all well known Flash 3D engines, but without any luck. Is there a way I can simply achieve this with Alternativa?
I guess it has something to do with [i]getObjectsUnderPoint()[/i], pixel comparison, but I don't know how to implement this properly. I already found a similar post here, but that was about Faces, not Sprites.

Any help or example code is much appreciated!]]> http://forum.alternativaplatform.com/posts/preList/3445/53368.page http://forum.alternativaplatform.com/posts/preList/3445/53368.page GMT

Stardust project homepage

Hi, guys. One of the Stardust team member released an extension for Alternativa3D!

Here's an example he posted on WonderFL.

http://wonderfl.net/c/cvct

The steps are simple:

1) Create necessary Alternativa3D objects.
2) Create particle emitter with initializers and actions of your choice, in order to create the particle behavior you want.
3) Create a particle handler that links the Alternativa3D engine and Stardust engine.
4) BOOM! You've got particle effects in Alternativa3D!

More demos and examples can be found on Stardust homepage.

Enjoy :)]]> http://forum.alternativaplatform.com/posts/preList/3438/53340.page http://forum.alternativaplatform.com/posts/preList/3438/53340.page GMT The clue is well hidden in the image, can you find it?

The idea of returning this, instead of void, is so that one can chain function operations in one line such as:

var angBetween2Normals:Number= new Vec3(d.x, d.y, dz).normalize().angBetween( new Vec3(a.x, a.y, a.z).normalize() );

Rather than writing out variables in several lines because normalize() returns void. Or subtract, scale, etc. can simply return "this" rather than "void", so you can chain more operations in one line that defines the initial setup of the given variable.

For Haxe:
However, if such functions are inlined in Haxe, the generated code output actually generates an extra variable if you choose to "return this" in normalize(). So, it's better to return void for inline methods in Haxe to prevent unnecessary variable creation, and let the inline method be simply an inline operation (ie. saving out the necessary variables without actually calling the function).

For Flash:
For Flash however, does returning a value in a method still causes Flash player to create a temporary variable in memory, and thus, it's better to NOT return values but simply call return void methods on manually declared variables? If I chain 5 operations in 1 line using "return this" for every function, does Flash player actually create 5 local variables in memory to help support the chained operation?

Honestly though, the idea of chaining operations in one line can get messy compared to the step by step approach.

[code]
var n1:Vec3 = new Vec3(d.x,d.y,d.z);
n1.normalize();
.....
[/code]

compared to:

[code]
var n1:Vec3 = new Vec3(d.x,d.y,d.z).normalize();
......
[/code]


Which also leads to a performance question, as to whether creating parameters in constructors are more costly:

[code]
var origin:Vec3 = new Vec3(); // creates 3 default variables 0,0,0 passed to constructor
[/code]

compared to:

[code]
var origin:Vec3 = new Vec3() // no parameters in constructor, must manually assign
origin.x = 0;
origin.y = 0;
origin.z = 0;
[/code]

The thing is, dot access can be costlier compared to setting the variables locally in the constructor. The thing is, with optional parameters included in, does that mean additional variable creation so it's still better to simply apply the properties from outside?

However, such inline would usually bloat your code (imagine having to duplicate 8 more lines in the main function loop for simply assigning variables), so i'd rather avoid it. In fact, any form of inlining can bloat code. However, simple operations like scaling, dot/cross products, square lengths, distance, etc. are worth inlining I feel. What do you think?

Personally, I feel a function that sets something or runs an operation (aka. setter) shouldn't return "this". It blurs the difference between getters and setters, and confuses the API since you can't organise your code into 2 distinct sets of setter vs getter.]]> http://forum.alternativaplatform.com/posts/preList/3199/52158.page http://forum.alternativaplatform.com/posts/preList/3199/52158.page GMT Есть fla-файл ну и as-файлы в которых размещены классы описывающие действия в игре.

I have some code background in HTML/ColdFusion/MySQL and I plan ideally to host on Google App Engine using their datastore as the backend and the OpenBlueDragon port of Coldfusion for GAE as the middle tier.


However I am struggling with flash and/or flex. Specifically while I've learned a great deal of AS3 concepts and FB component coding, all the 3D engine tutorials seem to be Flash based rather than FlashBuilder thus I set out to learn Flash this past weekend.


Moreover, I'm presently working through the Flash and PHP Bible (though trying to adapt the PHP to CF code) and can't find any resources describing how to connect Flash CS5 to Coldfusion (they all focus on FB4 and usually a wizard therein).


And finally given the scope of the intended project I recognize I will need a framework of some sort but transparently lack the expertise as yet to pick/implement one.


Thanks in advance for any and all feedback.

I'm currently importing a 3ds file into my flash application. The file imports without issue, and looks as expected. Within the model there are various points defined by planes that I would like to display sprites.

Currently, I iterate through all the Object3D's in the 3ds file. When I find the specific plane I wish to replace with a Sprite, I generate a new Sprite3D object and place it at the same x,y,z coordinates as the plane. I then do [b]not[/b] weldTheVerticiesAndFaces of the plane.

This is where I start to run into problems. If I then set the Sprite3D to be the same scale as the plane I'm replacing, the Sprite3D is HUGE. I have to manually define its proportions. In addition, although the x and y coordinates seem fairly accurate, the z positioning seem's slightly out. However this is possibly due to the reference point of the Sprite3D.

The scale is so dramatically out of proportion that I am almost certain I am going the wrong way about achieving what I want.

In short, what I wish to do is thus:
To iterate through a 3ds file and replace certain Object3D objects. Then use the coordinates and scale values of the Object3D to position and scale a dynamically generated Sprite3D object.]]> http://forum.alternativaplatform.com/posts/preList/2917/50662.page http://forum.alternativaplatform.com/posts/preList/2917/50662.page GMT Does someone know a really good AS3-Obfuscator?

I just made a Rubik's Cube game in Flash 10. I have further details on Newgrounds, but suffice it to say it has a Kociemba Solver, a reason for which you need to wait a while before the algorithm initializes. It also has three buttons, Scramble, Partial Solve and Full Solve. I did all the programming without the aid of 3rd party engines, also the art and sound editing; I even used my own voice for some of the samples :)

[url]http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/520884[/url]


I don't want to be bold, but I checked around the internet and I "think" it's the all-round best Rubik's Cube so far, in terms of functionality, look and ease of use, even comparing it to the ones on the IPhone. It's limited to 3x3x3 though. If you've found a better Rubik's Cube out there, don't hesitate to show me! :)

I hope everyone likes it.

P.S: There's also this older cloth physics demo I made, also having programmed the 3D and the phyiscs from scratch. So no Alternativa or APE here either:
