My first dive into AS3

Posted by FlyingColours - February 7th, 2013


Re-writing the code for Land of Towers can get boring, so, on a whim, I decided to look at Adobe's AS3 migration page. Then I thought, 'well, that wasn't so tough after all', so I tried to rewrite what little I had of my Madness Day game into AS3. It was hard, but fun!

The lack of underscores will take a lot of getting used to, as well as the whole display object thing. The one thing I found completely counter-intuitive was the event handling system. It looks really scary to the AS2 programmer. Still, that's the price to pay for a more powerful and centralised event handling system, I guess.

Update: I've realised that the display list system is beneficial to my Madness game, so I'll stick to AS3 for Madness. I'll continue to use AS2 for Land of Towers, though.
