  • As3isolib is an open-source ActionScript 3.0 Isometric Library developed to assist in creating isometrically projected content (such as games and graphics) targeted for the Flash player platform. As3isolib includes utilities, primitives and views. As3isolib was developed with simplicity, speed and performance in mind so that developers can focus on actual implementations rather than having to learn a complex API. The as3isolib is loosly based on a scenegraph implementation.

 

  • Slick2D is a simple set of tools wrapped around the LWJGL OpenGL binding for Java. It’s aims are as follows: * Provide a simple 2D API * Make transition from Java2D to OpenGL easier * Enable distribution via WebStart without the complexity * Provide the tools required for most simple games out of the box * Extensible framework for flexibility * Mix and Match – you use what you want, nothing is enforced. * Help with rendering, sound, input, collision and anything else we can think of.

Tree House Tent

Posted by on Nov 28 2008

A new tent to hang from trees – not a bad idea!


Dangling from a tree trunk like a surreal oversized pear, the Treetent is a cross between a treehouse and a tent. But Dutch sculptor Dre Wapenaar sees his creation as much more than just a novel bit of camping kit. It is, he says, a piece of art.

Wapenaar is an artist with over 20 years professional experience, but the inspiration for creating tents stretches right back to his childhood.

“I started building them when I was a kid. We had a competition in the neighborhood to build the coolest tent,” Wapenaar told CNN.
