I just thought I’d plug this. I’m hosting and administering this gaming related site. They have a bunch of E3 coverage and alot of great plans for the future.

Check it out.

I found copies of Day of the Tentacle, and Sam n Max. Complete with manuals and semi-scratched disks.

I’ve been working with as3isolib for quite some time now and since I can’t find many tutorials on how to do things, here’s a somewhat simple one to create a terrain with a mario sprite (loaded from an external SWF) to walk around in.

You can view the finished product and the source code here (right click to view source).

Made this with the UDK engine over the past couple days. Complete with lighting, triggers, post-processing effects, and some other little things.

I got these all for about $20.

Using as3isolib and papervision3d, I’ve made a simple pathfinding app that finds the fastest path between two points. If you refresh, it creates a new map.

Although you can’t do much else with the code, its neat to see how to use AStar algorithms to create a path between two points, and then tween the sphere to follow the path between the obstacles.

Edit: NOW WITH CAMERA PANNING!

I’m trying to figure out what options I should include that the user (a completely wordpress-n00b user) could change.
