StGit – Stacked Git tutorial for managing patches
I’ve been using git for the past several months hacking away on a new project by myself for the most part, but a couple days ago I decided to branch to maintain a production, test, and dev version of the code base not to mention versions for different platforms. It reminded me of how [...]

I’ve been working on a flash, real-time, multi-user system with AMQP. The first app using the system is just pong. Sounds easy, but I haven’t see an flash, real-time pong game on the internet yet. Flash client side, neko for the server with RabbitMQ in the middle for messaging.
Things have [...]
hxamqp: AMQP with haxe!
It’s been a while since my last post, but the wait has been worthwhile. I’ve been working on converting Ben Hood’s amqp library for as3 with my converter. It’s been an educational experience on a couple of fronts getting more familiar with the issues of conversion from as3 to haxe, AMQP/RabbitMQ, and flash [...]

I’ve created a google group to discuss issues, features of as3tohaxe and the general love of haXe http://groups.google.com/group/as3tohaxe
Please feel free to join it and let the group know what you’re converting or running into any issues.
Thanks.

Update: I’ve uploaded Windows and Mac OSX binaries to the files section of the google group.
Scrap Your BoilerPlate and Data.Generics for the Win!
I just updated as3tohaxe with a pretty significant change to allow transforming and querying of the AST. I was working in the translator code to add the ability to convert variable bindings with Number types a little more intelligently.
I wanted to convert this AS3:
public function s(s:String [...]

Previously, I attempted to convert the AsWing project with as3tohaxe and decided instead to go after a smaller code base, the as3flickrlib. I spent the majority of the time dealing with converting the xml processing which as3tohaxe doesn’t handle (and I’m not sure ever will), but the rest of the codebase went through for [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )Translating AsWing
Since the last blog post, as3tohaxe converter now has expression parsing, “as” converted to “cast ()” calls, and a program, as3tohaxe.hs, to run through a directory recursively and convert!
So I gave the converter the AsWing codebase as its first big test and ran into a couple problems.
The parser was bombing [...]
Back from FlashCamp 2008
We all had a terrific time at FlashCamp and got to see all the new features of Flash 10 and CS4 in action. Not only that, we walked away with trial copies, and we’ll be getting licenses too! The team I was on, “kitchen sink”, even won a prize for our efforts! [...]

Woo hoo I just got confirmation from Dom Sagolla about flashcamp. This will be my first time going, and I’m psyched! I can’t wait to tap into Flash 10’s new features (vectors, 3D, new text layout engine). The future of Flash and haXe looks bright.

So after a couple of months of study, I finally put together my first Haskell project, as3tohaxe, an Actionscript 3 to haXe converter. And now it’s up on github for everyone. The code is a mess because I’m still green with Haskell (and haXe!). It’s just a start, but I hope to [...]
