I'd recommend motor2

http://lab.polygonal.de/motor_physics/

It's based on the same code as Box2DAS3 - the original Box2D, which was written in C++. Motor2 is not only faster, better written code, it's not got the awful c++ naming conventions from the original like Box2DAS3 does, so it's a lot easier to use.

Power of 3
Whoa, reading over the forums I can see everyone is crawling out of there box and looking for people to work with. I mean everyone.
This is going to be so insane, if you win this competition the amount of publicity you will achieve will be amazing. Life changing perhaps?

Makes me wish I could still use flash, maybe I should get back into it as I pretty much have an unplanned year off.

Someone steal Denvish.

Our programmer Joey has been touching all the physics engines and benchmarking them... so far the Glaze engine seems to be fastest for him. But of course, you find the one that works for you. Some have better application for whatever you are doing.

I've been doing exactly that here at work, even fished out Andre Michelle's old PopShapes engine to check it out! I'd be interested in seeing what metrics Joey looked at, I managed to get info on the various object creations, freefall run speed, collision resolution time and joint force calculation. Glaze is also reeeally good, pretty much neck and neck with motor2

Hahaha, ha. It'd be cool though, mods disobeying the rules and trying to annoy Tom.

I did notice that =[

The guy in the room across from me bought SF4 today, so I'm gonna play that to death =] Usually whenever any of my friends are in my room first thing we do is put Street Fighter 2 HD on.

I said "at least that's what I thought..." I forget who it was, but they told me not to use Box2D in FD because of glitches, but I guess I'll just keep trying. The issue that I'm having a.t.m. is that the frames for some reason won't update within the variable m_sprite or something, but I'll try a bit later. Dickishnessessess in teh FD. I'll have to find some examples that don't require .fla's on B2D's site or something. Anyway, thanks :D

just found out about flash 10's drawtriangles graphics api function, textured polygons ftw!

like opengl without the z-buffer

My Street Fighter 2 HD decided to do a self-sudduoken and destroy itself after 1 play. Not sure about Fighter 4, i always buy games and never play them, don't want to waste what little cash i have.

It has nothing to do with FD. FD just calls the Flex SDK, and the Flex SDK compiler is exactly what both Flash and Flex Builder use. Do not listen to what anyone says unless it's one of the fourish people including moi in the lounge. Everyone else is a cocksucker. Srsly.

m_data is just some user-defined reference. It does not update unless you update it. Also, don't use Box2d.

Constructive(?) posting while rly drunk

I'm awesome.

I wish they had stuck with the name backrub, I think "Idk give it a backrub" would make our society sound much more erotic than "idk google it"

damn i can't find anyone to work with for power of 3.

i really don't wanna, but it looks like i'm sitting this one out.

Non-game Flash users

Hey I use to work with flash to make games, but i guess i just stopped because i was never that good at animating as i am as designing. Anyway i want to know how many of you make a living freelancing flash? Any good sites to recommend?

my DREAM is to have a beer with glaiel.
THERE I SAID IT.

Fixed. As soon as i am 18 i am coming to a flash reg meet and getting pissed out of my face whilst people draw various genitals on my head.

Hey Artists,

This is just an idea, Nothing concrete exactly. Just wanted to see what your guys opinions, ideas, and so on, With this thing that passed through my little mind. I figured despite being a Flash regular, it was obviously smarter to post here than to start a whole topic like an idiot.

Anyway, I was thinking about what your opinions would be on an Audio related collaboration. I know one like this has been created in the past, But my idea is different. Basically, Audio Regulars would submit a piece around 1 minute long, and an artist would animate their own depiction of that particular piece. (The previous collab was fairly different, But still audio related).

So just wanted to get some peoples opinions on this. And if you'd consider entering if it happened, etc.

Thanks :)

Sorry to quote myself guys. But I was wondering if anyone with decent flash experience would actually be willing to take hold of the 'flash' side of this Collab. I'd gladly take care of the Audio side of things. But just to make it the best quality, Would anyone be willing?

Its not definite. I'm just trying to find where I stand :)

You'll end up with them in your mouth as well...

I got beaten up pretty bad last night. Ack.
Reportedly it was so bad you could see my blood flinging around. That would've been pretty cool to see in a video but I guess no one was in a mood to record back then.

Luckily I don't have any damage apart from a few bruises and a flat nose. Huhu.

And why did they beat you up Gust?

Maybe he told them to use HaXe?

In all seriousness, that sucks Gust. Hope the bruises heal up fast.

I never knew about that o_O I shall have to play with that :)

In other news, I now have a lot of artists contacting me about the Power of 3 thing, which makes me pleased :P There's one guy in particular who I want to work with, mainly because he programs himself a little so that will be helpful.

Get well soon gust :p

Oh yeah, and the TF2 spy update thing is brilliant. Valve was releasing new content for the Sniper and one item was a shield which, when worn, would stop spys backstabbing you.. but they left little clues in the image relating to the Spy (a dead spy on the floor holding a gold watch and a semi-transparent spy appearing to some people behind the Sniper), and the next day they reveal 2 new items for the Spy :p The Sniper update was a Spy update in disguise >: O! Sneaky Spys.
