Flash, Actionscript, Design, Games and Programming.
I’ve been using Wonderfl.net more and more over the last few weeks. It’s an amazing site, with a great community – I I’m looking forwards to playing with it, when I’ve got a couple of hours to kill on an internet cafĂ© computer somewhere on the road.
For those of you not familiar with it yet, here’s a description from the site –
Usually when you want to build Flash, you need Flash IDE or Flex, FlashDevelop or any flash building tool to write code and compile it.
With wonderfl, you write Actionscript3 code in the html form, and our server compiles your code.
You’ll see warnings, maybe errors from the compiler, and if your code is valid, your Flash (swf) will be automatically shown besides your code.Write code and watch it in action, realtime, in your browser.
It’s a really amazing service, and it’s totally free. The community around it is really strong too, because at the click of a button, you can “fork” any of the posts on the site, edit a line or two, and see how it changes things. Add ot that the heavy hitters of the flash world posting regular examples, and the best and brightest Japanese Flashers posting amazing examples, and you’ve got a pretty incredible site.
Another thing I like about it, is that it compiles in Flash Player 10, so those of you stuck using CS3 or earlier, can get your hands dirty with the native 3D methods, and other new FP10 goodies.
You can check out my profile here, and edit some of my code with the click of a button. Here’s a few still from some of my posts -
