Adobe FlashCamp October 2008

Some people I met at FlashCamp:

• Corona Rivera - http://www.coronasdomain.com/
• Colin B. Toomey - http://www.designercolin.com/
• Justin Kruger - http://socialhelix.com/

Some blog posts during the FlashCamp:

• Can't Launch Air Apps After Upgrading from Flex Builder 3.01 to Flex Builder 3.02
• Flash Camp Day One by Corona River

Here is a page for the project that Corona and I are working on improving: Flash Universe Builder for space games

Cool things I saw:

• Justin showed me this: http://www.interactivepulp.com/pulpcore/ - Java based system that acts like Flash. Take a look at Bubblemark and see how high the framerate goes.

Day 2 - October 11

I didn't get here to Flashcamp until about 6:30pm because of some other commitments today. But last night after I went home I was up until late watching demos of the latest Flash 10 features. There are impressive demos that cover:

• New 3 dimensional support, taking 3-d objects and putting them into 3-d space
• New dynamic sound support
• Advanced text layout

So this morning I installed Flex Builder 3.02 on my Fujitsu UMPC and started playing with the three dimensional objects demo. So I made my three dimensional flash player 10 actionscript project.

Day 3 - October 12
OK, I've got my app for the contest - Race To The Bottom Flash Game. I spent most of the morning working on it.

Cool things I saw:

• PixelBender demo
• Demo of new 3-d features in Flash CS4 Professional
• http://www.dollarapp.com, Dominic Sagolla's new company specializing in developing iPhone apps that sell for just one dollar.

Some people I met at FlashCamp:
