He said, “I need to program something to create a polygon from points. Right now, the points are not being drawn in the right order so lines are being overlapped. How [...]

It’s also used as a hack to invoke garbage collection in the Flash Player. I’ve been using it in some recently applications to ensure only [...]

The basic idea is to create music by clicking your mouse and placing balls that will bounce of the screen. There are [...]
