APE Physics tutorial for actionscript 3
today i thought it might be nice to write a simple tutorial about the Ape physics engine, as there aren’t that many tutorials available for it yet. So in this simple tutorial we will create this:

as you might have found out the front page has changed with a message saying there is soon something coming. well thats what i am currently working on getting my portfolio part of my site up which will be nice and clean like my blog but more flashy, since well.. its my portfolio :D.
hi, yes it has been a while since my last post.
due to a various amount of reasons, but i plan on updating more regularly from now on.
one of my latest projects that i am working on is
i was working today with some actionscript. and normally i look allot off stuff up in my books as reference and such, seeing as I am still new to actionscript 3. I thought it might be effective to make a set of small posters that contain some of the basic information on it that you in general need quite often.
so here is my first version of my actionscript help sheet (PDF)
it rarely happens but sometimes i am like shoot, I wish I did have a mac. well this happened to me when i saw this program called pixelmator, its interface looks so cute and colourful how could one resist it. that even my sister would be all over it.
What it is it’s Photoshop made simple and stylish (the new cs3 has nice looks to but more in a prof way) it has all the basic editing tools you might need, like: layers, painting tools, retouching tools, type tools, colour correction, etc.
so if you do have a mac. well your in luck! as you can download a free trail (full version is only like 60 dollars). some more screen after the jump
yes yes people I managed to get the cover of my learning plan lasered so it looks more sleek and finished.
i am happy with the finished result of it.
proudly to present my new blog layout that has gone live today.
during the week there will be minor tweaks towards it. like the adding of new pages, etc.
a new logo is also in the works which should be up soon hopefully.
hope you all like the new layout of the site
I am currently in the progress of making a new layout for my website, the overall look is pretty much sketched up.
now I have to convert it to a workable template and later on adding details like subtle effects and my new logo.
the colour scheme was inspired by the design of my independent learning plan.
I am also looking at keeping the content as clear as possible and readable and nicely styled at the same time.
hit the jump for the current sketch layout/mockup
yesterday I set about to making my learning plan into a book form, for my MA in Design.
the results of that gave some interesting results by themselves I decided to print my contents on nice terrorized off white looking paper.
when tried to print it with a copier it gave a old grungy look to it as the copier didn’t quit like the texture of the paper and thus the print out was less smooth then on regular paper
and also there where nice scattered dots of inks over the paper. at first when I saw it is was like mhmm.. but then I thought it looked cool and added to the nice book feeling.
the thick cardboard cover was amazingly hard to cut it seemed to eat my blade away as it became very dull.
but still I managed to get it cut (a set of blades later that is).
picture’s after the jump, around next week ill have a post up about how to make a little book
I ran into something interesting today as I was looking on the interwebs. a technique called seam carving, which is a algorithm that resizes and crops in a intelligent way.
it looks at which parts in the image are important and which parts contain less useful information and it scales(removes) that part of the image while preserving the important parts.
