Made me want to play with 3D again, and usually I really don’t give a s.. to it.

Go Russians!

A friend asked to see it online (who knows why), so here’s a working link: http://pedromoraes.laboratorio.us/old.php

Pretty neat.

Congratulations to Arek Korbik, who’s just released a library that allows OGG Vorbis playback in fp10. It’s been coded using haxe. ALL this neat language still misses is a FDT-level eclipse plugin. It just rocks.

Still perfect. I’m surprised to see some bad reviews around. They are mostly from people who doesn’t even know what a VM is. With Chrome, Google achieved two things:

1 – Understanding that the browser is no more than a browser. Chrome won’t bother claiming it’s own existance all the time, and that’s the point for a browser. Plus, it is faster and more stable than any other.

2 – With the new VM, it will allow for a new level of applications, actually a new horizon of expectations. EVERYTHING I run, and I run a bunch of Ajax apps daily, is way faster on it. No comparisons are even possible – it is just another level.

From a developer’s perspective, nothing important will change this soon. We’re already testing for Safari – thus, for the same Webkit -. But with the growth of Chrome and/or the adoption of this new VM by other browsers, JS will become even more of a serious thing. I expected it to happen with Ecmascript 4, which won’t come to life anymore. So now, we still won’t have a decent language, but the most important, a decent performance, will be enough – considering so much has been done with today’s limitations.

IT’S FREAKIN’ PERFECT!!!

Just another silly experiment, a sound visualization this time. I’m learning Haxe and porting some libraries such as BTween to that language. Also, you should have heard that the great 3D engine Sandy is being ported by Niel Drummond.

Unfortunately the most interesting scenes are way too heavy to publish, they can barely run on my quadcore, so it would not be nice to put them online. When I get to make them faster, I’ll release another demo

Just a silly experiment.
