Flash Forward - Day 2 - Afternoon

Craig Swann gave a very interesting presentation where he hooked up a Wii controller to Flash. He also used a Momome and a homemade electronic pallette via USB to connect to Flash.

The next speaker was Samuel Rivello who spoke a lot about optimization in Flash. He showed how to get TONS of performance out of Flash using a technique called "Blitting" of "double buffering" which essentially paints stuff into a bitmap off stage then shows the bitmap. It was amazing and will help a lot with game performance. He will be doing an online seminar on Adobe.com on Nov. 6th.

In the evening we took the subway to Hard Rock Cafe. It was a lot of fun.
