After 4-5 months of twiddle it payed off and we won again at Assembly. You can checkout the outcome in realtime by clicking the picture or view it in HD at Youtube. Here’s also the link to the info file and link to pouet of course.
As I mentioned earlier I invited David Lenaerts to help with the demo. All those fancy Away3dLite stuff with shadows and reflections came by his hands. Awesome!
I also compiled the whole shit through Joa Ebert’s Apparat. It did speed up it a bit.
I also had a presentation at Assembly. I talked about my flash art and introduced the evoTinyEngine, evoCunningParticleEngine and evoSync-tool. I haven’t found the recording of the speech yet but here are some of the links I had there.
– evoCunningParticleEngine at googlecode
– evoTinyEngine at googlecode
– download the evoSync air app
You can also download the presentation in pdf format.
Then the bad news. I had an accident last Friday. I fall down from the fence and my wedding ring got stuck at the top of the fence.
The ring peel off all the skin, muscles and stuff out of my finger. The main tragedy about it was that it also ruined my fingers blood vessels and the finger had to be amputated. So I won’t be coding new experiments for a while now I guess. I also need to learn how to type fast with 9 fingers. I will recover eventually, but it’ll take some time and hard work.
I’ll post more info about the particle engine later when it won’t hurt so much to type.
p.s. We also did this little demo with Jalava to show that 4k intro can be done with Flash. It’s not too fancy but it proofs the concept :)

-1 for marriage!
Awesome demo, great work and much respect :O
Sorry about the finger, hope you’ll manage without it! My wife is always bitching when I´m not wearing that ring, you´re living proof of why I shouldn’t. ;)
The presentation was totally amazing, either was demo. I admire work you’ve done to made that demo (i love flex&flash and all those stuff %))), and also I admire your life position: my younger brother lost all his fingers on left hand last spring, but I still cannot made him think that it was not the end of the world. Maybe he is not yet wise enough to understand it, as you are.
Anyway, I hope you will be ok and could prepare something special for next Assembly. We all be waiting for it =)
Nice one G ;)
I liked the presentation and the demo totally rocks!
Very VERY nice work once again!
Hope to see you at FOTB!
Be there or be square ;)
Greetz!
OMG simo! WTF!
Mate ….W….T…..F…. i misread it.. omg
Mate if you need anything…just name it.
I can lend you an extra finger anytime!
I hope you recover nice, and i wish you and your wife all the healthyness in the world..
Hang in there mate…
Hope you ll get past 9FingerProblems !

Hi mate,
I just discovered your evoTinyEngine (great work) and i’m only now browsing through all your older posts about the subject. Therefore i’m a bit behind times, but altough I realize this comment is a bit err.. late.. I felt it’s never too late to wish someone the best. Good luck recovering (hopefully you’re well on track), mate!
(For me, as a old pc demoscener – did a lot of music, 1992-2002, sonic/destiny, a dutch musicgroup – whose trying to earn his living by doing some webdevelopment but who is by no means a *real* programmer, your engine is especially great because of it’s relative straightforwardness in usage)
