Spiral effect with Twitter API

Built a basic Spiral utility class with various components, and decided to use the Twitter API to demonstrate it.

Mouse wheeling flips through the tweets.

More BitmapData Effects

Still playing with bitmap canvases and trigonometry.

BitmapData Effects

I called this one: ‘Emerging dry ice with radar’ effect.

Data Visualisation – Molecule Network

Building a basic parent-child, molecule network using Papervision3D.

Example:

network = new MoleculeNetwork3D(stage);
network.dataSet = data;
addChild(network);

Works by creating child nodes on the vertices of an invisible sphere. When a child node is selected, it becomes the new parent with its own child nodes now displayed, and so on…

Bitmap Tiles

Experimenting with grid pattern tweens using TweenMax and BitmapData methods. I’ve tried to replicate the parameters and methods used in TweenMax to ease its use.

Example:

TileBreak.to(sky, 2, {r:20, c:20, delay:0.0005, x:50, y:150, rotationY:360, rotationX:360, onComplete:done, onCompleteParams:[sky], ease:Back.easeOut});

or

TileBreak.from(sky, 2, {r:20, c:20, delay:0.0005, x:50, y:150, rotationY:360, rotationX:360, onComplete:done, onCompleteParams:[sky], ease:Back.easeOut});

Where ‘r’ is the number of tile rows and ‘c’ is the number of tile cols.

A few issues I’ve noticed are abnormal spacing with the tiles when a certain number of rows and cols are specified and generally just slow performance with boosted numbers.

The class also processes columns first before rows and isn’t type safe.
