I’ve been coding Objective-C lately and less Flash. I have decided to learn more languages properly and the language of evil fruit company is one of those. I feel humble to be such a newbie, but at the same time I found new ideas for my AS3 coding patterns.
The constant of diverse is getting stronger and it’s quite obvious that in the future we need to know broader stack of techniques. Also we need to know these techniques deeper. For creating something ‘new’ we have to look even farther out of the box.
This is all because of the ever growing flood of information in this digital cosmos. Things are old at that very moment they where released. Our eyes glimmering we are producing piles of old crap.
It’s not depressing or even worrying. This is how it has always been. Things are again getting faster, broader and more diverse.
nice one – pillforms make me remember this Flash8 oldie but goldie :)

excellent
Very nice. Keep us updated about your objc dev.
nice job simo!
I agree with you on the note that we need to broaden our horizons.
How do you like objective C ? I see alot of coder trying it out. Maybe worth the try….. \o/
That example is beautiful! It’s like no other Flash example I’ve seen!!! Quite inspiring…
Rackdoll: The ObjC is so very different then what I’m used to. The syntax feels unnecessary long. I had a lot of problems on internalizing it. I found it easier to cope when I don’t comparing it to other languages like java.
Anyway it’s very easy to find examples on web and every time I face a problem I can google a forum post about it. I’m not switching into any new technique, just learning more.
Retarded jabbing about html5 vs flash is for those who thinks there is some kind of change going on between techniques. I don’t think that’s the case. The big deal is that more and more devices are streaming in to the markets and the ever growing information just need to be packed to those environments.
Role of those devices are quite different from each other and that’s why more specific techniques are needed. I, as a developer, have a list of layers I can support today. Of course I would like that list to be as long as possible in the future.
@Simo: Have looked into Objective C and indd its pretty different from the Java / AS syntax…. but it gives a good challenge to learn :) It reminds me of Python-ish codes. Have you ever heard of XMLVM ? a cross compiler that enables you to write Java or whatnot… and crosscompile it to C or Python evennnn
Its pretty nice and gives you a broader range of devices to port to.

Dude, your experiments are way way ahead of the average.
Very well done!
Jawdropping! Somehow I’ve missed that experiment before! How did you get it so smooth? Thinking of recording it and using for VJing next weekend, only if permitted of course ;-)
Og2t: sure go a head. Thanks for asking, not everyone does that :)
This is amazing! I loved it!
