Friday, January 8th, 2010Get Jollified!
Wednesday, December 16th, 2009‘Twas the weeks before Christmas and all through The Zoom,
Zoomers were fighting off holiday gloom.
The projects were done, to the clients with care,
In hopes that AR would soon be there.
When out on the Internet arose such a clatter,
When asked, Zoomers said, “Why nothing’s the matter!”
Away to the laptops they flew in a flash,
Started the webcam and cleared all the cache.
Zoomers engaged in the holiday fun,
Added hats, beards and noses, each and everyone.
Twas a Jollified Christmas, brought straight from Zoom,
From there on out, no more holiday gloom.
From our stockings to yours, we are pleased to bring you Jollified, a festive holiday Augmented Reality flash application. Not unlike elves, we have been tinkering and fussing over Jollified for weeks, in the hopes of bringing you tidings of cheer and well wishes.
To get Jollified, please watch the video below and then visit the official Jollified website. Play around, snap a photo of your Jollified creations and share the merry with family and friends.
‘Tis the season to get Jollified!
Flash Camera
Monday, December 14th, 2009 On a recent project (which will be revealed later this week) we needed to save an image created in a Flash application, using AS3 and PHP. It turned out to be really easy. Here’s how we did it…

Stopwatch for Cubers ver 2.0
Thursday, December 3rd, 2009What do you know? I did get around to updating my timer. Introducing Cube Clock 2.0 for Rubik’s Cubers (and other cubes) with fancy new graphics, sounds, and a settings screen. See Stopwatch for Cubers for the original version.
If you want to study your cube before the time starts, click the SETUP button to specify how many seconds you would like to study. The default is 0 which means the time starts as soon as you release the space bar (or click the START button). You can also toggle sounds on or off.
Let me know if you would like to see any features in the next version. And, of course, post your times in the comments.
What a tasty flash game…
Thursday, November 26th, 2009Here’s a game for all ya’ll just in time for the big turkey day. Feel free to download the .fla file and see how this game is built. Don’t forget to post your scores in the comments!
Here is the FLA file.
Stopwatch for Cubers
Thursday, November 12th, 2009A while ago I built a simple Flash app for people who can solve a Rubik’s Cube (or other cube brand). Other apps that I’ve seen require that you use the mouse to click the start and stop buttons. That can add a few extra seconds to your time. On my solution, the Cube Clock, the time starts when you pick up the cube from the keyboard, releasing the space bar. Then when you’re finished solving the cube, just tap the space bar again and the timer will stop.
Some timers have a feature that allow you to examine the cube for 15 seconds before the time starts. I might add that feature into the next version (if there is a next version). So, get your cube out and try out this timer. And be sure to post your time in the comments area.
Fun with Flash: Gravity
Thursday, September 3rd, 2009A while ago, I built a Flash animation for one of our clients that showed particles floating around while an attractor sucked them up. It was so much fun building and testing it that I started building a game out of it. I took the magnetic algorithm I was using in the animation and put it in the game, but I replaced the particles with a single missile and used multiple attractors. I turned it into planets in space with an orbiting rocket. It’s entertaining to see how long your rocket will orbit the planets before crashing into one.
Go ahead and try it out. (more…)
For Independence Day set off some particle effects!
Thursday, July 2nd, 2009
With Independence Day (Fourth of July) just a couple days away, I thought I’d share some fireworks. But these ones are safe and eco-friendly. And, to save you some cash, I’ll show you how to make your own fireworks! Sorry, pyro-maniacs, we’ll be using Flash AS3 to generate safe particles. Take a look at the fireworks show I’ve created in Flash, and if you’re interested in creating your own, follow along with my instructions.
Here are our requirements:
- create a particle effect that resembles a firework burst.
- vary them in size and color.
- celebrate our independence.
Let’s get started!
