Cool particles system, what did you use to get it to work? Do you have any code you can share? I’m trying to implement a particle system in my haxe as3 project, I tried Flint but it didn’t work for haxe.

And by the way, I did a few speed comparisons between neko and tamarin (both shell versions) on linux and windows too. I instantiated about 500000 objects from a class. Result: neko twice as fast!

Hey man, that is some strange result!
I just did a few tries with haxe to see what’s capable of, and I to find it very attractive as a language. Especially because apache mod_neko. That means you can program in the same high-level language both on client and server! But i was expecting to have it run slower than AS3. Neko has a rather different low-level model than Tamarin therefore I guess some conversion code is necessary. Maybe the performance hit you got id from inlining.

Question: in the AS3 version, did you use Vector?

Anyway, if this is realy true, than we need to blame it on this piece of code: http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/flex/sdk/trunk/modules/asc/src/java/

It means it can be done better…

A beautiful image of what looks like the stars in a galaxy I wish I could come across that image more often. Thankyou
