Using the visualization code from the previous post, let’s apply a verification of RandomColor and Color classes for unit testing. In the following three examples, 50, 500, and 5000 colors are generated with each distribution of color graphed in a separate visualization. RandomColor generates random color values, Color gets RGB values, and a Timer provides [...]
For reference, source of Blitting’s ColorPalette class:
Let’s add color and combine a RGB color study. Blitting features a convenient ColorPalette class which contains an integer (hex) enumeration of default X11 RGB X colors. Each color name is defined as a String with a list of all possible colors available via the Colors static member: 1 2 3 import com.jasonsturges.labs.blitting.color.ColorPalette; var [...]
Extending RandomTimer is easy, with a handler for onTimerEvent built in. Let’s try an example – FunctionTimer, a class that inherits RandomTimer (therefore inheriting flash.utils.Timer) which maintains a collection of function pointers. At random intervals, all functions within the Vector of Functions is executed. Example class: FunctionTimer 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 [...]
Using the pattern demonstrated by RandomText, let’s implement Blitting’s randomized timer class RandomTimer. Inheriting from flash.utils.Timer, RandomTimer dispatches TimerEvent.TIMER and TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE at random delays. Example implementation: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 [...]
Blitting offers many random generation routines. Let’s start with an example implementation of Blitting’s RandomText: 1 2 3 import com.jasonsturges.labs.blitting.text.RandomText; var char:String = RandomText.character(); Above, a random character is generated and returned as a String. Four character sets are native: Upper Case Alphabet Lower Case Alphabet Numbers Symbols These sets represent two things: Individual [...]
Promoting functional units from my private development in to a new framework, I’m introducing a new API named “Blitting”. Distributed as an ActionScript 3.0 SWC, this library is focused in bit BLIT, rendering, layout, double and multiple buffering while maintaing performance oriented design. Performance metrics will be available in a soon to be released Profiler [...]
