Tweet One of the nice things about keeping a blog is that I get contacted by people from time to time asking me to take a look at their apps or pointing me in the direction of other successful apps written in Adobe AIR. Here’s a few that have come to my attention recently. Picshop [...]
Tweet NOTE: If you read this post then please also read the comment at the end from sHTiF (creator of Genome2D) who details some poor assumptions/misunderstandings on my part. When writing my Monster Dash clone, I opted to start by using Flash’s classic display list. Although my intention was to eventually swap over to the [...]
Tweet My post from a few weeks back may have piqued your curiosity. It showed the bare bones of a scrolling platform game built on top of Box2D and running with debug graphics. Since then I’ve been busy adding proper visuals to it using the Starling framework and can now reveal what the heck I’ve [...]
Tweet Just thought I’d let you guys know that we released an update to Match Mee with a bundle of new features and bug fixes. The major addition was a treasure room allowing the player to see their collected Idols. It’s something people had been asking for so we were more than happy to oblige. [...]
Tweet Just thought I’d show off a video of something I’ve been working on over the last few weeks. It’s a work-in-progress and only has debug graphics in place but it should give you an idea of what I’m trying to do. If you’re still not sure where I’m heading with it then take a [...]
Tweet So Adobe made a series of announcements yesterday regarding changes to the Flash roadmap, and typically some of those decisions have had the Flash community up in arms again.

Each game teaches children new skills through play, with fun activities [...]
Tweet Crikey, it’s hard to keep up! We’re now at version 3.5 of the AIR SDK and 3.6 is just around the corner. Since a few people had asked I thought I’d once again update my AIR Overlay tutorial for Flash Professional CS5.5. So if you’re struggling to install the AIR 3.5 SDK into Flash [...]
Tweet I used to suffer from a lack of motivation and sometimes just a complete lack of direction. It’s one of the reasons I started this blog. Just the act of writing out my thoughts seems to get things straight in my head, allowing me to actually be productive and learn new things. I began [...]
Tweet Well that’s another year over and it’s been a hugely satisfying one. I’ve also just realised that I’ve kept this blog going for just over three years now, which I’m actually pretty damn proud of. You may have noticed that I haven’t blogged as frequently this year. That’s intentional as I wanted to focus [...]
