We have a new multiplayer game/example online, called LettersGame. It’s based on SmartFoxServer PRO and it was kindly submitted by Chris Lindsey. Players will be able to interact with each other on a shared board and compose words with the available letters.

Thomas Jacobsen, head of research and development at IO Interactive and creator of the physics simulation and the 3D pathfinder for IO’s game “Hitman: Codename 47″, gave us permission to publish his well known article about Advanced Character Physics.
This paper is not specific to Flash programming, but it’s a great resource for game development in general.
You can read it here, in our Articles section.

Games and Articles sections updated: we published a new prototype (developed by Triqui) to create an “Indiana Jones map effect”, and a new game by Lomadrian called Stop.
Have fun!

We published a new game in our Games showcase: it’s errorBall, made by the game producers and electro punk band the errorplains.
Have fun!
