Meeting Recap for August

Last nights meeting was pretty good. Scott Stoddard of SpiritOnin.com was presenting a collection of Flash games that he has developed. In addition to showing the games, he also took time to show us some of his “secrets” - how he handles things like collision detection, animation, and timing issues in games - applying slow-motion effects, for instance.

He also offered some tips for improving the performance of your games, and examples of how a game can be very basic, but still a lot of fun.

The meeting was pretty small, and very informal - we spent a lot of time simply discussing various tips & tricks that we’ve picked up over time for working in Flash.

Next Month:

September’s meeting will feature both Ellis Elkins and John Lindquist. Ellis will be showing us how to use the built-in Displacement Map filter for various effects, and John will be discussing PaperVision 3D.

More details will come as we get closer to the meeting.
