Thanks for the feedback! @Darcey: Thanks! The physics are hand coded.. hopefully they are faster than a full sim. If you have a moment, could you explain what you mean about the camera? The camera rig has actually been one of the tougher things for me. Still not totally happy with it, but not sure how to fix it.
@abowban: Thanks! The skateboard style jumping sounds cool. I will add it to the list :) @katopz: First, thanks a ton for making such a nice 3D engine! Away3D really opens a world of possibility for Flash. I will look into the enlarged view solution a bit. I don't think the scrolling bitmap will work for me because this problem will occur with any objects that enter or leave the view.. cars, obstacles, etc. Best, Shawn On Jul 23, 8:13 pm, Darcey Lloyd <[email protected]> wrote: > By the way, keep posting here, I would love to see how the project ends up > :) > > On 24 July 2010 03:32, katopz <[email protected]> wrote: > > > 2.
