Joa Ebert's apparat can be found here: http://blog.joa-ebert.com/2009/08/11/apparat-is-now-open-source/ <http://blog.joa-ebert.com/2009/08/11/apparat-is-now-open-source/>As far as Cannassa is concerned, he is best known for Haxe, which uses alchemy opcodes here and there(with his flash.memory implementation, but I'm no haxe expert), here is the url: http://ncannasse.fr/blog/virtual_memory_api
Offcourse it all still runs in the same Flash sandbox, I believe the performance gains are basically due to the fact that alchemy compiled code can do memory access faster by using opcodes which arent available in AS3 (don't ask me why). Anyway, I'm no expert, but a bit of it is explained here: http://ncannasse.fr/blog/adobe_alchemy On Wed, Jan 6, 2010 at 12:19 PM, John McCormack <j...@easypeasy.co.uk>wrote: > Meinte van't Kruis wrote: > >> Seeing the whole apparat project of Joa Ebert or the stuff Nicolas >> Cannasse >> >> > Are their projects available to see? > > implementing some alchemy to speed things up. >> >> > As far as I understand it, the C++ code is still converted into Flash's > byte codes, so any performance gain must have been from the algorithms in > the C++ code. > > How much difference did it make? > > John > > > > On Tue, Jan 5, 2010 at 4:07 PM, Paul Andrews <p...@ipauland.com> wrote: >> >> >> >>> Meinte van't Kruis wrote: >>> >>> >>> >>>> Actually, I think performance should be on top of the priority list for >>>> any >>>> Flash developer. >>>> Unresponsive flash apps are the number one irritation imho. >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>> LOL, I have yet to write one and I have yet to use any techniques from my >>> assembler or C++ days.
