Interzone released a new trailer for our football MMO.

I’ve been experimenting a little with Flash recently, creating a small app that can add a bunch of 2D vectors. It’s not exciting yet, but it has been a good excuse to learn something about FlashDevelop, haXe and Actionscript 3.0.

It has been a pretty good experience so far. Initially I thought the TextField widgets were not going to be functional enough for my needs, but once I found the right events to listen for, my problems were solved. I have a bit more work to do on the app before it is ready to be rolled out on the 20th August.

An interview with John Carmack about id Tech 5. All 3 parts are interesting, not too technical.

Assembly 09 was a few days ago, check out the nice results on pouet.net.

I saw a few cool slide presentations on proggit recently:

• SIGGRAPH: id Tech 5 Challenges – J.M.P. van Waveren (PDF)
• HPG2009: The End of the GPU Roadmap – Tim Sweeney (PDF)
