as3isolib Isometric Library

Raúl — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 21:53:23 +0000

i’m going to start a personal project using an isometric view, and i just find about as3isolib
it´s a very useful library that could help you in building your own isometric game.

i uploaded already a few examples on GitHub, and i will continue uploading more examples on the road.

you can find more info here and here.

cheers!

Playing with GitHub!

Raúl — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 04:30:19 +0000

i started learning how GitHub works and created a new project http://github.com/GrupoW;
Learning git it’s a little bit more complicated than SVN, and if you are in MAC, installing it is another history! (you can go to this page for little help)
I´m going to start porting all the GrupoW googles repository to GitHub, yes……… i could export/import from SVN to GitHub but i also want to refactor some classes and remember, i´m doing this for learning purposes and because everybody is talking about git!!!.

so let’s start sharing code!

Weakreference + Robotlegs

Raúl — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 17:31:31 +0000

yesterday i was wondering why i just couldn’t get the eventMap.mapListener to work as expected.

in my mediator class i have the next code:

1
2
3

override public function onRegister():void  {
	eventMap.mapListener(view, CustomEvent.CLICK, onClick);
}

the onClick handler never happens… (using Flash CS4)
but if i change that line to this:

1	view.addEventListener(CustomEvent.CLICK, onClick)

it works!

it also works with:

1	eventMap.mapListener(view, CustomEvent.CLICK, onClick ,CustomEvent,false,0,false);

after two hours of digging in, downgrading Robotlegs version, downgrading Flash IDE version, changing from PC to MAC, i just realized that i needed to ask to google san. (yeah!! after two hours i just realized that!, can you believe it??)

made the next search: “Weakreference + Robotlegs”

google’s response: 0.37 segs
google’s first result

my fix was, changing this:

public class Main extends MovieClip {
	public function Main() {
 
		var context:MainContext = new MainContext(this,false);
		context.startup();
 
	}	
}

for this:

public class Main extends MovieClip {
	private var context:MainContext;
 
	public function Main() {
 
		context = new MainContext(this,false);
		context.startup();
 
	}	
}

the GC was only doing his duty!
man, if i would have asked to google before, it would have saved two hours of my lifetime!.

WebFont Loader

Raúl — Wed, 26 May 2010 17:30:30 +0000

Google’s new app WebFont Loader rocks!!, let`s you to add web fonts to your pages and
you don’t need to do any programming, just a basic knowledge of HTML & CSS (vary basic)
here’s a quick example:

just copy and paste the following code:


  
    
    
  
  
    Hello World!

and you will see something line this

Hello World!

in deep:

here we add a stylesheet link to request the desired web font

1	<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Reenie+Beanie">

here we style an element with our web font

body {
        font-family: 'Reenie Beanie', serif;
        font-size: 48px;
     }

so now you can see how easy is to use this new app!
