Super Cool Multitouch Actionscript Fluid Solver

14 May 2009 6,322 views 11 Comments

Eugene has just ported Memo’s fluid solver work to AS3 http://blog.inspirit.ru/?p=248. With the source now out, I was able to quickly add multitouch support and it works great! Thanks to cyandesign and simpleex for keeping me on my toes.

A couple notes, the touchlib AS3 classes had to be corrected since they currently don’t send dX and dY values which the fluid solver needs to calculate directional velocity. Other than that, things went fairly smoothly and took little time to make touch sensitive.

    this app is awesome, but i’m really sad coz it just works on mouse movements. I meant, i already got some fluid time with my fingers but it stoped working lately.

    Does anybody know how it can be fixed?

    Hello, and good day.

    Just wondering if there is a snip-it of code that you add to the orginal action-script?

    I have a few AS3 projects that could benefit from this! and I will share!
