In the last post I said that I would use C++ and support my translator on GNUstep further. But everything changed, my parents gave me ASUS Vivobook 15 for my birthday, as I understood it is a model for those who play games (I only play Tetris DX on Gameboy Color). But the drivers do not work on GNU/Linux, and even the WiFi adapter. Therefore, after many attempts, it was decided to use Win11, and there are difficulties with installing GNUstep. That's why I can't support my translator for 2 systems (maybe I'll support it on a virtual machine, because GNU/Linux is a good system). Also, my sister gave me a book on the programming language ANSI Common Lisp, and I realized that I was using Lisp incorrectly, now I look at everything differently, I don't remember how I lived without lists, and I'm just starting to understand how you can use functional programming. I've already read 1/3 of the book. And I haven't worked this week, and that's a little sad.

Hello everyone, I recently decided that I need to stop using GNUstep and ObjC. The reason is simple, I need to think about work, because after as2 I need to switch to another language, no one needs ObjC, which means I need to use C++. I love GNUstep, and will continue to support "Tranalate.app", written in ObjC. I already made an update today. I'll be working on the Common Lisp ANSI standard soon to better understand everything.  

maybe I need to somehow install LibreTranslate for better translation

It's been a while since I’ve been inactive, and a lot has happened during that time. I recently asked an AI if it knew me, and to my surprise, it did! Apparently, I was known for my time spent in spam groups, as a game developer, and even for creating AS3 tutorials — even though I haven't worked with AS3 in ages.

Why did I stop using AS3? Well, back when I created a JVM on AS3, I found myself solving problems with empty functions that didn’t actually do anything. It worked, but it wasn’t sustainable.

But let’s focus on the present. I’ve changed, and I’d like to share a bit about my journey with others. Here’s a brief look at my path as a programmer:

After moving away from AS3, I didn’t completely leave AS2 behind — it's still a major part of my work, particularly in creating the world’s largest Flash 8 game, which continues to be my main source of income. For a while, I considered switching to Haxe, but I found it limited to just games. Java had way too many frameworks to learn, and I attempted to learn Rust three times without success. PHP didn’t excite me, so I eventually landed on C. From there, I made a shift to Objective-C, with the aim of contributing to the GNUstep project.

Now, my main tools are GNU Emacs and Elisp, where I spend my time writing code for Emacs and diving into the world of Common Lisp.

So, here I am: ready to share my thoughts, experiments, and progress. This blog will be a place for me to talk about what I’ve done (and what I haven’t), post the occasional Flash 8 tutorial, and maybe even share some random musings. I won’t be doing any drawing, animating, or game development in Flash 8 anymore, but I am still passionate about helping create amazing games.

Let’s see where this journey takes me.

You probably see the power in SWC libraries, or used #include "file.as", but you just don't know the modules in the Adobe Flash library, here's what you need for this:

1) create a .fla file

2) add an empty MovieClip to it, write in Indetifer the name of the class that will be used in the module

3) write a class for it, create several functions

4) create the main .fla file where the module will be used

5) create a clip with these settings

6) add to the scene (can be in _root)

7) now you have a class that works as a module and can work with the environment, for example, change Misha’s cursor to another in the entire game, modules can work between each other

Now you can create modules, they will serve you well

action script 2: https://jacksmack.newgrounds.com/news/post/1243452

this post has all the links that were in the topics AS3: Main, separate links have also been added for a better understanding of things and creating games not only in Adobe Flash, but also using Flex and other code editors, books have also been provided that can be found on the Internet, it is planned to add other tutorials on AS3, if you want to add something or find errors or the link does not open, write in private messages, Also, this is all intended only if you already know action script 2 or another programming language, and if you can’t find the answer to your question in one of the posts, then read the comments

If you have come here and want to help new users learn in action script 3, then please help me, send me the material you want to add in a private message or help me create Apache Flex SDK Tutorials, we will need to collect books, materials and create tutorials ourselves that are missing, let's give people knowledge, if you want to help, before you go write a tutorial, contact me to get more information

Hello everyone, and yes, I wrote the same message on many servers where I was, I’m not leaving NG, but I’m leaving communities such as: kitty krew, clock crew, piconjo and some unknown to you, just know that I may return but it won't be soon, for now I'll be making my own game called trace();, I also won’t delete anything, I remember what else I should have participated in, but that’s okay, I just won’t delete old animation games and that’s because it’s memory

Edit* I deleted old games and animations and drawings
