Morning Discussion
by Alice O'Connor, Jan 26, 2010 1:15am PSTToday sees the North American release of Mass Effect 2 and, more importantly, the revival of an old favourite Shacknews tradition--the launch day discussion post. So please, keep your Mass Effect 2 out of Morning Discussion because people are avoiding spoilers, or perhaps live in Europe and the thought of anyone playing ME2 before Friday fills them with a furious rage.
So. Something else, then. Read any good books lately? It's not quite a book but I've been enjoying Judge Anderson: The Psi Files Volume 1, a phonebook sized collection of stories from celebrated British sci-fi comic 2000AD starring Judge Dredd's splendid psychic chum Judge Cassandra Anderson. There's a small exhibition of frequent Anderson artist Arthur Ranson's comic art at Orbital Comics near Leicester Square in London, if you're in the area and fancy seeing some rockin' pictures.
I want to make an AIR application in Flex. I want to tell you exactly what I am going to make (it's pretty simple) and I want you to tell me what controls I use to accomplish the task. I plan on sitting down with my AIR book and really learning everything at a later date, but for now I just want to be told exactly what to use to make this simple thing. In other words I'm more concerned about getting this done quick than learning much.
The Application:
It's a dice rolling application for D&D. I want to be able to supply it a list of pre-configured sets of dice to roll, and then the application is simply a list of buttons representing each one. When I click on a button, it generates the random numbers and displays the results somehow. Not a popup - preferably a separate window that is not modal. So for example, one of the supplied macros would make a button like:
"Greatclub: d20+13 vs AC, 1d10+7 damage"
I was thinking that I wouldn't supply the macro in plain text like that, although I could easily write the parsing code to handle that. I'll figure that part out myself. And when I click the button it would show:
"Greatclub: 21 vs AC, 16 damage"
