Here's another quick and dirty experiment with ActionScript Workers: I've taken two fairly meaty tasks: computational fluid dynamics and rigid body physics and created separate ActionScript Workers for each.

I want to show you the video of a game I am working on. It’s called “Blob” because it does not have a name yet, but the interesting thing is it’s an endless running game which uses Box2D.

As you should know, Box2D only manages rigid bodies, this means it assumes its bodies are made of the hardest material of the world, which cannot be bent or deformed in any way.

This saves a lot of CPU when handling the simulation but what if we need a soft body, such as a blob?

I received some request about making something like the Box2D Concentration prototype with Stencyl.

I've done a little more tweaking with last week's experiment running concurrent fluid dynamics and rigid body physics with ActionScript Workers. I've used a technique based on the threshold() method in BitmapData class to simulate metaballs - these are managed by Box2D and act as sources to my fluid dynamics ActionScript Worker.

Welcome to the second step. It’s time to build a level and let the player rotate it with the mouse.

Hey,I'm happy to share with you my game school project made at the french Gobelins school, in Annecy.It is now online : http://kinessia.aymericlamboley.fr/.I worked with a graphic designer, Tiffany Francony, which made an amazing job !

Before the summer I announced I was going to write a Box2D book which would be available by the end of the summer.

From Wikipedia: Wraparound, in video games, is a gameplay variation on the single-screen in which space is finite but unbounded; objects leaving one side of the screen immediately reappear on the opposite side, maintaining speed and trajectory.
