More playing with flash lite. It's a bit annoying because it uses really old and limited code. It's like going back to C after creating a huge OO framework in C++. Also there's a bug with Atan in flashlite 1.1. The values X(1 to 0) Y(0 to 1) properly give you radian values from 0 to 1.57... but one you cross into -X area X(0 to -1) (1 to 0) the radian value returned immediately jumps to -1.57....

I was taking a quick look at flash lite lately. I threw together a little tile 'engine'. With this you can specify arrays of tile indexes to fille the screen. It will dynamically create each screen from background and foreground tiles in your library. This test comes in at a whopping 4k. I think you could do quite a bit with it. Though I haven't tested it on a phone itself.

This is a picture I took on my last day in the Philippines. I only just realized how awesome is it. Click it for the full size one (3.8 megs). I'm hoping this will be a start of a trend of posting photos. We shall see! (don't get your hopes up).

PS. That bee is about 3x bigger than north american bees... huge

New page! Well sort of. New content management system. Using Joomla now instead of Mambo. The only reason is that Mambo just died off. The team moved to Joomla, it's better supported... aaaaand it's my hosts CMS of choice (used to be mambo). Currently in the process of moving my content over. Then I'll have to get the mambots and components back up and running.... it'll be a while.
