DinoDig

AS3, Object-Oriented, MVC, XML

This project was built in Flash, using ActionScript 3, OO-programming techniques and the model-view-controller pattern.

DinoDig features a fully immersive, yet educational game-loop targeted at 5-10 year olds.
Instructional and informational narration throughout the game, with a lot of positive reinforcement and catchy background tracks makes DinoDig a big winner with the kids.

Tom Jensen

jQuery, AJAX, AS3, Wordpress, PHP, MySQL

This project was for Tom Jensen, a Dunedin-based composer who required a professional website to attract business

The site utilises jQuery & Flash communication, and dynamic page loading with AJAX to provide a smooth user experience.
It was built on the back of Wordpress, with a tailored admin panel, providing a non-cluttered, simple administrative experience.

Pig Day Out

This project was for a fictitious music festival, the Pig Day Out.

This site was constructed in XHTML, and utilised jQuery to add bits and pieces of interactivity.
Client-side form validation and an AJAX request makes for a seamless form user experience.

iRobot

AS3, Flash, XML

This project was a short look at interactivity in Flash, along with retrieving data stored externally in XML

The mini-app features an infinitely expandable gallery, and an externally loaded cast list.
I also played with the SoundSpectrum class, and have developed a graphic equaliser which is displayed below the navigation.
