Phil Peron Flash Platform Developer and Game Development Hobbyist

C/C++ to ActionScript Cross-Compiler

Last year, at MAX 2007 Scott Peterson showed everyone a demo of various C apps running in the Flash Player. It was pretty radical stuff. I recall seeing the demo and feeling absolutely speechless.

Well, I totally forgot about this (too good to be true?) until today, when Ted Patrick announced that indeed, development is still moving forward in this area.

I’ve been chewing on the thought of creating P2P clients in AIR but couldn’t figure out an elegant approach to packaging a client module (written in ActionScript) and a server module (written in C/C++, Java or Python) in a single AIR installer…

Could this be it?
