My favorite part about flying is that I use it as an excuse to focus on small personal projects. Last night, on my red-eye flight back from west coast demo day 2008 (oh yeah, in case you didn’t know, I am in YCombinator Summer ‘08, co-founder of MeetCast) I made a custom RSS reader for my blog. This isn’t any ordinary RSS reader, however, it is in the form of a physics sandbox. You can see it in action here.
It’s still pretty rough, but is still fun to play around with. I used the as3 version of Box2D for the physics, which I am really impressed with. Eventually I will add more parameters besides gravity, as well as more feeds (e.g Twitter).
A while back I created this game while teaching myself Flex 3 and Papervision 3D 2.0 and I figured it merited a blog post. It’s of the 3D Tetris breed and took me several weeks to complete. You can see it in action here. Try it out and submit your high scores! Feedback is welcome.
