Warning: There is a GIF at the bottom of the post with flashing images. Like many of you, I was inspired by the impressive visuals of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (which, by the way, has a website built using gskinner’s CreateJS libraries that power dynamic interfaces much like those in a bitcoin casino game I […]

Scripting Google Spreadsheets
Turn your Google Spreadsheets into JSON without doing anything! A while ago, I did a Flash project that was fairly heavily text-oriented. To help keep track of all the text, all the strings were given labels and placed in a JSON, spanning about 1500 lines and calling almost 4000 different references all throughout the code. […]
C# from an ActionScript/JavaScript Developer’s Perspective
Traditionally, gskinner has been a shop with expertise in Flash/ActionScript technologies, and then JavaScript/HTML/CSS since the slow decline of Flash.
