Ive been playing around with abit of tech for my next game. Not too sure what the game is going to be yet but while playing I had an idea and made this little toy:
Turn your speakers on!
Music is “Stay Crunchy” by a rather odd chap called Ronald Jenkees.
Been a while since i have shared any coding tips, but here is one for those Actionscript 3 Coders out there. Its a helper function that splits a URL up into its different parts using RegExp.
public static function dissectURL(url:String) : Object
{
var keys : Array = ["source", "protocol", "authority", "userInfo", "user", "password", "host", "port", "relative", "path", "directory", "file", "query", "anchor"];
var hostExtractPattern:RegExp = /^(?:([^:\/?#]+):)?(?:\/\/((?:(([^:@]*):?([^:@]*))?@)?([^:\/?#]*)(?::(\d*))?))?((((?:[^?#\/]*\/)*)([^?#]*))(?:\?([^#]*))?(?:#(.*))?)/;
var o : Object = hostExtractPattern.exec(url);
var r : Object = new Object();
for (var i:int = 0; i < keys.length; i++) { r[keys[i]] = o[i];Â Â Â }
return r;
}
An example of its use would be:
var protocol : String = dissectURL(“http://www.mikecann.co.uk/?p=294″).protocol;
trace(protocol);
It would trace “http”.
Enjoy!
Well after weeks and weeks of having the game all but finished i have finally sorted out the sponsorship, ironed out the bugs (most of them) and sorted all the artwork. The game is now released and ready to be sliced up by critics on the internet.
Anyways onto the game; The object of the game is simple. Several silly critters and their things have gotten frozen in the ice and they need your help to cut them out. Using your mouse slice off chunks of ice in this exciting physics based game!
