Did a quick little experiment with Line-Of-Sight Calculations in AS3.0. I’m not too happy with it at the moment, and trying to find a balance between performance and accuracy, but you can see what I have done so far in the Labs.
Experiment Focus:
A nice person pointed out to me that my Labs wasn’t working. It seems I totally forgot I actually spent money buying a hosting package with Dreamhost! How silly.
I have updated all my previous posts, and updated my links. Hope you guys enjoy!
