Adopt an emoticon aka “Adopticon”

Posted by Philip Bulley | Filed under Actionscript 3, Personal Projects, Portfolio

It’s been just over 9 years, but I figured it was time to breathe new life into an old project. What is now known as “adopticon” started life as the “emoticon generator”. It was an experiemntal pet project created for typographic56 magazine at my very first digital advertising job at Deepend way back in 2000.

New channels on tubecast.tv

Posted by Philip Bulley | Filed under Personal Projects

I’ve spent some time recently integrating tubecast.tv with the YouTube API using their PHP Client Library. So now it’s easier than ever for users to create their own TV channels on the network.

Tweet Coding

Posted by Philip Bulley | Filed under Actionscript 3

For the sake of something called “tweet coding”, I’ve finally signed up to twitter! It’s only recently that twitter was unblocked here in Dubai, as for some reason the powers that be believe it is a tool designed for the propagation of evil – either that, or Sheikh Mo just doesn’t quite understand it yet (another reason I’m glad to be leaving Dubai soon). Anyway, now twitter is unblocked, this seems to be a great reason to join.

So what is tweetcoding? Well, Grant Skinner figured that instead of holding a more traditional 1k or 20 line coding contest, let’s see what the Flash community can come up with when there are only 140 characters up for grabs. Fortunately, the rules state that the 140 characters need to be within the following code construct:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
g=graphics;

mt=g.moveTo;

lt=g.lineTo;

ls=g.lineStyle;

m=Math;

r=m.random;

s=m.sin;

i=0;

o={};

function f(e)

{

    // add 140 character code here

}

addEventListener("enterFrame",f);
