AS3 Data Structures For Game Developers
OK, I am really late on this again, because I did not really code AS3 for some month now. But after searching the web for some new algorithms in Flash I stumbled over AS3 Data Structures For Game Developers done by Michael Baczynski. Great piece of work which looks really professional. The package adds some new data structures to Flash which seem to be perfect for game development, like: Multi-Dimensional Arrays, Queue, Stack, Tree, Binary Tree, Binary Search Tree (BST) and Hash Table, Linked Lists, Heap and Priority Queue, Graph and Bit Vector. Especially the Graph Structure is cool and extremely fast if you want to do pathfinding A* stuff.
Michael Baczynski also posted that he is going to release an Open-Source 2D physics engine. I am looking forward to the first release candidate. Great stuff Michael, thank you for sharing this!
