The Source Code

This artwork was created using a combination of Flash ActionScript 3 Papervision3D, Cocoa and C.

Code sneak peak

Some of the code librarys we will be using is open source and we would like to acknoledge them. They include ARToolit, Papervision3D and more coming soon.

Each character will act as a 3D block with hit detecdtion on it. Here is a smaple class I have working in Flex. Still developing this... there are still a few bugs.
