A personal repository for William Chou's programming projects.

My name is William Chou, and I'm a Cornell University CS graduate, programming enthusiast and devout gamer. This repository contains an open collection of my current programming projects - feel free to peruse or even use (all code is released under the new BSD license).

Games:

• symptom, an original 2D side-scroller game.
• The project that served as impetus for learning Flash game programming. The code has undergone significant evolution since its inception; see the revision log for the full story.

• asteroids, a remake of the classic arcade game.
• Features custom Flex UI components (a la Flex Component Kit), a self-tiling background and a simple particle system with object pooling.

• minesweeper, a clone of the popular desktop game.

Other code:

• async_dependency_graph, a utility class that provides elegant handling and execution of multiple asynchronous method calls with dependencies.

• graphics_test, a demo that compares Flash rendering methods and collision processing algorithms.

• array_test, a performance comparison between AS3.Vector and a linked list.
