Hype/Papervision3D Demo
So after getting my hands on the new Hype framework, I wanted to put together a simple demo together that utilizes a combination of the SoundAnalyzer class and some 3D eye candy (via Papervision3D).
First off, I can say that I really like being able to play around with the sound spectrum using only a couple lines of code. I also used the Rythm class to run an enter frame method, which is very convenient in that I didn't need to manually set up an event and listener.
Lastly, I wanted to also utilize a tweening engine to smooth out the particle movement, but doing so cut the framerate by about 80% (a little better with TweenMax/TweenLite, but still not good enough). I also briefly played around with the Flint particle emitter, but I'm not familiar enough with Papervision/Flint to get it working how I wanted.
UPDATE - I decided to give a tween engine one more shot, and was able to use TweenMax while keeping the framerate at an acceptable level.
UPDATE 11/06/2009 - Updated code sample to reflect demo swf.
UPDATE 3/29/2010 - It's come to my attention that Wordpress tends to be a bit moody when it comes to code formatting in posts, especially in the case of vectors (which use the greater than/less than characters). That said, I've posted a couple pastebin examples:
Link --> Document class
Link --> ApplicationView class
