AUG Chicago April Meeting

Monday, April 15th, 2013

Flash is alive and well, living in a game near you!

(probably in your pocket)

The last couple of years have marked a drastic shift in the ways Flash games are made and delivered. Developers can now communicate directly to the GPU, allowing access to powerful new techniques, graphics effects, and performance increases. This talk will show you how to harness the power of Stage3D to create cross-platform hardware-accelerated 2D games.

We’ll go over some of the challenges faced when transitioning to stage3D game development and show how you can take full advantage of the latest tools and frameworks such as Starling, StarlingPunk, Adobe Scout, tile set editors, and Texture Packer.

Cross Platform Mobile frontier with HTML5 and Javascript

Mobile is a hot item right now as everyone wants their products and servies to be accessible constantly. We will look at some example applications and then create our own application for iOS and Android using Sencha and PhoneGap talking over the pros and cons of using web technologies along the way.

For the designers in the group we will talk about the power, and limitations, of CSS and building within the expecations of the mobile ecosystem. Developers don't worry though there will be enough code to get you excited as we will look at the MVC framework of Sencha and the developers workflow. We will also jump into the foundamentals of javascript and look at why this messy language is so fun to code in.

If your up for following along and creating your own app bring your laptop and be ready to type away as we dive head first into mobile applications and the future of cross platform development.
