Yesterday, Grant Skinner (creator of the awesome GTween library) came up with a competition for all those AS3 developers out there. The aim? Make something funky in 140 characters or less using the “gimme” code provided on: http://gskinner.com/playpen/tweetcoding.html
Within a few hours, there were some amazing tweets submitted, some of which just blow my mind. All submissions can be found here. One of my current favourites is this one of a tree, which is just brilliant!
Needless to say, I couldn’t resist the challenge, so have created Painted Rain, which is _supposed_ to look like drops of paint falling into water and blending together. Was really tough to do in 140 characters! Here’s the link to the swf, and the code:
h=r();l=600;o[i++]={a:h*l,b:r()*l,c:h*30,d:h*1e7};g.clear();for each(e in o){g.beginFill(e.d,20/e.c);g.drawCircle(e.a,e.b,e.c++)}i>150?i=0:i
You can keep up to date on the contest by searching for #tweetcoding on Twitter!
