Re: [Flashcoders] AS3
Sorry for the late reply, I was pondering about how to bring this without going into a flash vs html5 debate (been there done that). So I think to sum it up, I think the heart of the matter is that in my opinion actionscript/flash is not dying, it's moving and growing towards where its strengths lie. In some industries that might mean it feels as if it is dying, but the conclusion might just as well be: - if I want to keep doing website/webapplication work I might have to add html5/css/javascript to my skillset OR - if I want to keep doing actionscript/flash work I might have to move towards gaming, gamification, serious games, desktop apps, mobile apps and other fields of work (maybe even a teacher) Anyway I could go on and on but that pretty much sums it up I think. Even is there is an as4 or asnext (which appearently there is or will be), that only means we can migrate to as4 *not *that flash or adobe air or adobe air for mobile is dead. For those of you fearing to move to mobile using flash, yeah there is a steep learning curve and yeah there are pitfalls and yeah it is a lot of work blahblah, but it's fun, it works and most of it is very doable. Unity3D is a very nice option as well to move to if you are into platform independent game development etc etc. My 2 cents, this is not to disregard your opinion that flash in your industry is dying, I can only take your word for it, nor to say that I sometimes don't have sleepless nights as a fulltime freelancer, but anyway;) JC On 26/10/2012 19:53, Kevin Newman wrote: But why? :-) To add a little bit - perhaps AS3 is only dying in some industries (like mine). But surely once ASNext ships, AS3 will become the next AS2 (which has been diminishing for years now). Kevin N.

Re: [Flashcoders] Game physics programming needed.
Thanks Roger. You are right. We're really just trying to get the physics right now and are planning on fine tuning after we get that settled.
