porting the as3isolib to another platform #47

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

The as3isolib is a great library and very useful for many developers, 
especially because isometric games are very popular all over the web. As much 
as i love to work with Flash and ActionScript, it is still a problem that the 
Flash Plugin is not available on all platforms - sure you can build a native 
application with the AIR runtime, but if some of us would like to target the 
web it is a problem.

Some weeks ago i started a project called "dartflash" and the name pretty much 
says what it is - it is a port of the Flash API to Googles upcoming Dart 
programming language (http://www.dartlang.org). There are other projects like 
"EaselJS" who did the same for JavaScript but the API is not very compatible to 
the original API and JavaScript is far from ActionScript. Dart on the other 
hand is very similar to ActionScript and it is a joy to work with it when you 
come from the ActionScript world.

Here are some samples and a game i have ported from ActionScript to Dart:
http://www.dartflash.com
http://www.dartflash.com/apps/escape/escape.html

The source of the dartflash library (including all samples and the game) is 
available here:

Sorry for the long introduction, here comes my suggestion/question:

It would be great if someone would port the as3isolib to something like the 
dartisolib using dartflash. Many programmers would be able to port their Flash 
games to HTML5 in an easy and fast way. So i ask if someone is interested? I 
would do it by myself too, but my spare time is limited to and my main focus is 
on improving the dartflash library. So please check out Dart and the dartflash 
library, hope you will like it.
