While playing around with some new ideas to execute with the HTML 5 drawing capabilities I realized it has a very limited set of drawing commands. Sure, the commands are an amazing leap forward for standards, but there were some concept I wanted to port over from ActionScript that I couldn’t. This is because of [...]

Doing this requires knowledge of what a mesh consists of and how to construct a TriangularMesh. Basically a mesh consists of two things: Vertices and Faces. Vertices are basically the corner points of a [...]

For this experiment I took some code I had written for a recent project and repuprosed it in a more artistic and abstract manner. The idea is basically to loop for a specified distance and create points, which are later connected into a continuous cubic bezier line. Here is the code: public function createLoopingLine(distance:Number):void { [...]
