Flash Game Review – Auditorium

Monday, January 26th, 2009

Auditorium is an elegantly simple puzzle game made in Flash that I found through a post on Daryl Teo’s Blog. The player must direct a stream of particles towards fixed collectors to complete a harmonious melody by manipulating movable icons that represent physical forces. The gameplay is quite simple to pick up at first but the puzzles soon become quite challenging. Every level of polish has been applied to the game from visual effects, like the fade between each level, to the pleasing audio clips generated by the particle collectors. The highly sophisticated elements of particle physics, sound, and design blend together to create a deceptively minimalist experience. Perhaps best of all, multiple solutions are possible for many of the puzzles leading to more exploratory gameplay.

The new Prius site by Saatchi & Saatchi and Bad Assembly looks awesome, has great sound design and feels really smooth. Oh, the car looks pretty hot too.

I caught word that KitchenSync was used for some of the animation! *Blush*

AS3 Performance comparison tool

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

I ran across an interesting performance comparison tool at businessintelligence.me

This could be very useful for code optimization and for a general understanding of what’s going on behind the scenes.

Perhaps the most striking comparisons in this tool are the ones that compare Vectors to Arrays. Looping Vectors appears to be about 60x faster than looping through Arrays. Someone recently asked me when you would want to use Vectors and my response was whenever you possibly can. And if you think about it, the times which you need an untyped Array are (should be) almost never.
