{ Actionscript 3.0 / School Project / Fall 2008 }

For my CS640 class as a Graduate student at Sacred Heart, the assignments were pretty standard. I chose to deviate from the required simple tasks and challenged myself to create more advanced work each week. Click on each of the images to play the animation.

Homework 1

Star Field

This was my first leap into Actionscript 3.0 and I started with the same project I always start with. How can you not love a good star field?

Homework 2

3D Cube

For this project we were asked to create a class, I ended up making two: Face3d and Point3d. With those I made a bouncing cube similar to the Windows 95 screensaver.

Homework 3

Tube Climb

Here is another unusual idea I came up with. Click and drag on the screen to create a tube. It will automatically draw and traverse towards that size. The colors, size, and transparency vary the farther down the hole you go. If you use the arrow keys, you can traverse back and forth along that path.

Homework 4

Gravity Mass

Not a perfect attempt at gravitation pull, but a good effort. Click and drag to define a mass size and then click again to define its weight. Then you can witness the pull of multiple objects on each other based on actual gravity equations. There are a lot of flaws with the code, including the fact that objects will fall into each other.
