As the scene is on for Pakistan Super League season 7, I quickly made a profile picture maker online tool so fans can show love for their teams by wearing a badge on social media profiles. Check it out online at ➡️ PSL7 Selfie Maker Video demo of the app:
There are so many situations where you’d want to add automation to an electrical appliance, remotely control it or to keep check on it in real time. You’d probably start by making an Arduino based hardware device with needed components / modules. Programming firmware to read values and take actions based on those values, or just publish the values online service to access them from anywhere. Last part will be …
Often you need to draw a line at certain angle, and you find it hard to recall the math you learned in school to do this calculation. Same was the case with me recently when I was working on DashPanel-Arduino project. First, I searched for ready to use snippet someone posted online, but I was out of luck.

If you’re into DIY embedded hardware, do check out his blog https://blog.squix.org/ Squix’s display library can use font generated …
This is an update to my original QR Coder browser bookmark script. It’s been a while, and the Google Chart APIs I was using for this stopped working few days ago. This is my daily use app, and unfortunately there’s still no way to easily transfer text info from one device to another without going through cloud. In this update, I am now using GoQR service by FoundData. It’s pretty …
Unity has become my first choice for most of the projects I do. Majority of them are branded games, some with custom hardware interaction, and some just plain apps. The best thing about Unity is, it’s easy as Flash was for quick drag’n drop design and interaction components, plus it’s way more powerful and extendable. Now back to the topic. In one of my current projects, I started using Photon Server. It’s …
My fellow Flash developers, this post’s title and the post is not to start a new flaming war on the subject, it’s just an opinion which you may or may not agree with. I posted some of the following ideas in a private forum, so I thought I’d just save some typing and add some more thoughts in original forum post(s) and publish here on my blog. This post is …
It’s exactly one year and 9 days since I last posted on this blog. I had some issues with my MySQL DB for this blog which was wrongly set to some other encoding, than UTF8. After exporting my blog data, then re-installing latest WordPress, then importing data back in, fixing, tweaking settings. Now this is the first post after the overhaul. I have some cool topics to discuss on this …

In first one we covered basics and getting used to the Flash Pro IDE, and basics of ActionScript 3, Timeline, MovieClips and other concepts in Flash. In 2nd follow-up workshop, we did some intermediate experiments, and completed a game, Popcornia, with real graphics, Timeline and AS3.
