HO HO HOPE you become a Newgrounds Supporter this year!
We're working hard to give you the best site possible, but we have bills to pay and community support is vital to keep things going and growing. Thank you for considering!

Animating Explosions
I hate it, how does this look?

It looks great, a bit different to a lot of explosions ive seen, but thats a good thing :)
Maybe add a few bright sparks that bounce off the floor/wall?

They are a real pain in the ass. But its looking really good. I always like to add a flash of light at the start of an explosion, and maybe it needs to start off faster. The start of an explosion should be really fast, and everything starts to slow down during the whole thing. Gives it all a little more of a punch.

For an AS3 contest a while back, I made a 3D cellular automaton. The contest was to write something cool in 25 lines on the first frame of a CS4 timeline, so just paste this there and run. Mouse rotates, click to reset

hooray for 3d automata. thats pretty cool, but 35 lines by my count

Note the counting guide comments.
Why not write nested fors like:
for(i = 0; i < size; i++)
for(j = 0; j < size; j++)
for(k = 0; k < size; k++)
It's silly that serious contests are governed by metrics like line or character counts. Code size should be measured by counting the nodes in the AST.
I'm sure Toast wants to implement it, right now.

I dunno, it was fun for the few months it ran. Here's one of my favourite finalists
Plus AST node counts aren't available to most developers, and especially not in Flash CS4, the release of which the contest was promoting

That 3D cellular automata is cool but it's difficult to see what's actually happening.. if I didn't know better I'd say it was almost completely random noise :X
Here's one of my favourite finalists
I've seen some really cool things in that tournament, that's one of the best.. bookmarked :X Would make a fantastic screensaver!
Sup, bitches :)

I've added a playMutated function to the synth. It plays a slightly mutated version of the sound, but keeps the same settings, so it mutates around the same base sound. Should be cool for giving a little variation to those often repeated sounds
Also added a bunch of useful parameter setting functions, just to make setting up a sound easy. The way I'm using it in my own code to use the app to find a sound, copy the string and paste it into my code as the parameter to setSettingsString.

That looks like a cool event, let us know how it pans out. It would be good for newgrounds to be better about keeping a pulse on flash /game development events and conferences like that. Maybe even to the point where are able to finance a person or two that lives near the event to go in and be the communities' eyes and ears.
Recently mike attended the Flash on Tap event up in Boston and he thouroughly enjoyed it as a programmer, he said I probably wouldnt have found as much value as an animator but even little info like that about events is a great thing. Knowing what event caters to what niche.
