FC Twente Game Finished

I recently completed the first version of a football game for FC Twente, a cooperative project between TriMM (where I work parttime) and Inner Drive Studios (where I work parttime as well). It was a very cool project to work on, with a steep learning curve for me involving Away3d, interface design in photoshop and timeline shape tweens. Anyway, play the game and post your scores!

I recently finished a game for FC Twente, and although there are some improvements to be made to the gameplay & flow, I’m nonetheless pretty happy with the way it turned out. Give it a swing and let me know what you think!

Scrollrect, drawing api, textfield bug

Posted on Wednesday, July 14th, 2010 at 5:17 pm by Hans Wichman

So I’ve been developing these actionscript 2 panorama’s, but had not tested them in player 8. *wrong*.
Apparently some version of the player 8 crash as soon as debug information is printed.

Some further research indicated that it is caused by a bug, through a combination of a dynamically created textfield on top of a clip with a scrollrect set, on which I draw using the drawing API.

The solution is in the CubeView class, instead of setting the scrollrect on the _canvas, set it on the _canvas._parent. I’m not going to update all downloads, but now you know how to fix it :) .

General ActionScript 2 Matrix Multiplication code

Posted on Friday, June 25th, 2010 at 8:59 pm by Hans Wichman

Just a tidbit of code, for a general matrix multiplication:

var result:Array = new Array ();

for (var y:Number = 0; y < mAHeight; y++) {
for (var x:Number = 0; x < mBWidth; x++) {
result[x+mAHeight*y] = 0;
for (var e:Number = 0; e < mAWidth; e++) {
result[x+mAHeight*y] += mA[(y * mAWidth) + e]*mB[x + (e * mBWidth)];
}
}
}

Although if you need real performance you will probably unroll the 3 loops.

Part VII – Panorama hotspot interaction, light up on mouse over

Posted on Saturday, June 5th, 2010 at 10:15 pm by Hans Wichman

(Please give the panorama a moment to load)

Download the sources here: 3d Panorama v0.7 (243)

With respect to the last post/implementation, only a few minor changes were required to the demo we had so far. Basically making the hotspot light up is implemented by drawing on the plane’s material. That’s all there is to it. I’ve implemented this idea in the interactive material class.

Part VI – Panorama hotspot interaction

How you define your hotspots is up to you. For example you could write a tool which allows you to edit and generate a CubicPanorama. For a project for the dutch police academy I’m currently working on at TriMM, I am writing such an editor in Flex. Here is a screenshot of the work in progress:
