I have 512 RAM and it runs pretty swell. I don't really know what the problem...

ooooooh...

If you're thinking of doing anything with serious 3d i'd forget flash and AS altogether.
So i'm looking for a decent coder for a pico day game, I have an idea all layed out and a bit of gfx done, anyone interested?
Also i got my name changed too :3 its the same minus those pesky numbers!

"If you're thinking of doing anything with serious programming i'd forget flash and AS altogether."
Flash can do decent 3D. Not amazing, but good enough to get by. If someone strongly thinks that 3D would add to their Flash game, they should go for it.
But AS is far from the best language out there. So why program anything in Flash? One good reason would be about Flash games reaching a large number of people. You'll probably get more props and a greater reception for making an average 3D game in Flash than a better one with C++ (unless you're releasing it to a console or something).
That's why you don't forget Flash.
Doomsday-One, working on stuff better than preloaders. Marginally.

It sure isn't. Go 1GL programmers! Whoo! The most bad-ass programmers are those who write directly in machine code. Or should I say ... the most bad ass-programmers.
God.
Remember the time when their was no Collaboration forum? It was actually way better.
The regs around here used to smack noobs in The butt for not asking something right.
Now the collaboration forum is filled with 10 year old nerds.
I just saw a topic that just said
"Looking for programmer"
And the title said the same thing.
Their are just neverending topics....don't get me wrong, some topics make sense, others, well, let's just say the user is better if with account deletions.

GreaseMonkey is genious, just put together this script for it (see pic).
Too bad I'm using Chrome full time now, but perhaps it can be of use to other people.

As gust pointed out, there are quite a few 3D physics engines for flash. Some run at decent speeds, but it's not really viable for a full game project..

I assume you're agreeing with Depredation there then. The same thing in OpenGL would run at 10x the frame rate and be 5x as easy to put together.

Ooh, that's awesome :) There was a plugin called Platypus (if I remember correctly) that allowed you to dynamically edit the page and then save it as a greasemonkey script, so you could for example get rid of the comments and ads on a youtube page and then save it to run on all youtube video pages.. things like that. Quite cool and ridiculously easy to use.
Sup, bitches :)
AS3 Topics and Quad trees
So, I've noticed myself tending to post AS3 related questions in here. Is that a good practice? I just don't feel confident it would get any attention "out there." Essentially, I just wanted to talk about quad trees. I'm making a fighting game, and I don't think it'd work for it (the ground is a constant so no collision test there either). I'm just curious though, is it really the best bet for tile based games? Flixel uses it and the collision in those games always seem spot on. I've noticed though, that Flixel games seem to be very constrained also. That being the case, what is the best bet for collision detection using amorphous shapes? I'm tempted to set-up collision boxes but these can be tempermental too. I must admit, for a fighting game, collision detection is very important, but not as taxing given the relatively few number of objects being tested.
Control preference
I know it depends on the game, but given these three options, which would you choose as your favorite assuming that all of the game mechanics can be controlled with the given option.
-Mouse only (player follows the mouse, left click does things)
-Keyboard only (Player moves in the direction of the arrows/keys, space does something)
-Combo (player is moved using the arrows/keys, mouse click does things)
-Combo 2 (Player is controlled by the mouse, space bar does things)
IF more actions had to occur, would you rather:
-Mouse controls player, all actions are done using keyboard
-Keyboard controls player, all actions are done using keyboard.
-Keyboard controls player, some actions are mouse... others are keyboard.
Control scheme is generally a hang up for me, so opinions are greatly appreciated.

Keep it all to the keyboard. It's possible to download a particular application and map keyboard keys to a joystick to play flash games through a joystick. ATM, I can't recall the precise application, but it's out there. Leave the mouse for the dress-up games :P

Quite few? There's basically only Jiglib and whatever you can run with Alchemy.

I'm not, that demo is in fact impressive. If I may point out that that is an interpreted software renderer.
I'm real happy how part 1 turned out.
Part 2 has one of my fav scenes in all Duders in it but 2.80 is bulshit. Part 1 got 3.40 - each part should be getting between 3.20 and 4.00 - this bugs me a bit.
Anyway 2 parts left. 3 scenes done, 3 still to do, once the next scene is done I can release part 3, then a few days to max a week after or so I release part 4.
Also, my b-day thing is coming soon. So I have an excuse to go to future shop and get a better video card and RAM - my computers been givin me some scares lately.
