Storing and retrieving AS3 'Class' in SharedObjects

I recently wanted to store and retrieve AS3 Classes in SharedObjects. This could be particularly useful when dealing with an embedded resource. The key functions which help you achieve this are getQualifiedClassName & getDefinitionByName

DoTween - The Big Demo

Image
I love DoTween , and have been using it extensively at work and personal projects, ever since I heard of it. Tweens are a great and cheap way to get a polished look for all transitions and animations in your game or mobile app. Stop coding movement by hand for menu items, HUDs, simple translations etc. if you are still doing it. So I made a small 2d demo in Unity5 with DoTween, where you can play with different types of tweens, including an option to choose a different tween for different axes (X and Y) Its open-source btw, and you can play with the code yourself on github . Click to open the unity web player in new tab (Firefox, Safari recommended) If Chrome blocks, follow instructions . Easing is an important component of making your games and interactive experiences Juicy. If you don't know what Juicyness is watch this amazingly cool super awesome video of two game developers showcasing their demo.

Download Android SDK standalone for offline installation

Update :- SDK for Android version (6.0) added ! How to install Android SDK without internet connection I searched all over the internet and found no posts like this, hence I'm making one hoping it would be helpful for a lot of people. The magic URL used to be  - http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml  (Outdated) That is the XML file from which the URL for downloading the SDK packages are obtained. Update :- The previous URL is now invalid, the new URL is given below https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository-5.xml  (Outdated) Update 4  :- New URL https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository-10.xml  (thanks topcoder from comments) Update 5  :- New URL https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository-12.xml For e.g. if you want to download Android SDK for version 4.0.3 for all platforms, you could look up that XML file. You will find a block under tag SDK 4.0.3 like this <sdk:archive arch="any"

Bejeweled, Candy crush like Match-3 game clone source code jam

Image
Today I had to make an assignment for this company I had applied for. After passing round 1, the second round was an assignment. The task was to make a clone of Bejeweled which auto-plays itself, until no more matches can be made. The game can be stopped using a button or when no more matches are available. When it is stopped either way the user can click on any 3 gems to convert it to a wildcard gem. So the game can be played forever without any end. The whole thing took about 5 hours, with about 40 mins break in between and few other miniature breaks. I have always wanted to participate in game jams and make a time lapse video, so I took this opportunity and made one. Also I am giving away the source code on Github. It is made with Starling framework using AS3, so it should be portable to iOS, Android, Mac, Windows and Web without any hassles.
