Revolution tutorial - Free eBook on using Revolution, Dreamcard and ArcadeEngine

The tutorials come in a visually appealing e-book format which is both easy to read and use, the range of topics covered includes:

• The basics of Revolution such as: stacks, cards, scripts, messages and timers
• How to use geometric properties such as distances, angles and intersection rectangles
• Understanding and using different movements including linear, polygonal, circular and elliptic
• Advanced use of images
• Using the built-in collision detection handlers
• Plus much more.

Cocoa 3D Tutorial will provide a Cocoa framework to interface the OpenGL library in a more OO-fashioned style. It is not meant to be the fastest code possible, nor to leverage all the power of OpenGL, but to give developers a easy way to start working in 3D.
NOTE: Cocoa 3D Tutorial is licensed and distributed under the terms of the Artistic License.

Main features:
- A scene tree, with cameras (one for each view) that can be easily positioned and oriented, and lights.
- Object picking, that allows an interactive manipulation of the scene.
- Factory classes for common objects (cube, sphere, cylinder, ...), groups and transformations.
- Basic OpenGL optimizations (e.g. display lists)
- Full support for OpenGL colors and materials.
- Static textures (read from a graphic file or generated from a styled text), animated textures (read from movies), procedural fixed and animated textures (using configurable Perlin 2 & 3D noise).
- Full support for ARB_vertex_program extension, seen as a special type of texture.
- An animator class, that allows to easily add dynamic components to a scene.

Enhancements
- Added StringTexture class
- Added AnimatedProcTexture class
- Added PlainSurface class
- Added InteractiveView class
- Corrected and updated some class behavior
- Updated Tutorials to use new classes

Revolution Conference Tutorial 1.0 is known as a free yet very useful stack featuring code examples and course materials for use in the series of free online conferences being held by Runtime Revolution. This one covers the Revolution programming metaphor. It contains everything you need to take part and as with the conferences is totally free! The stacks are updated following each conference.

Flying Icons is a tribute to the fantastic Aqua Icons screensaver that shipped with the original Mac OS X. In Jaguar, it was "replaced" by the also-cool Flurry saver.

Apart from the basic functionality present in Aqua Icons, Flying Icons has some additional features. It allows you to select a folder or an IconFactory iContainer as a source of icons.

In fact, for optimum performance and utility, use of an iContainer is recommended (because of less disk activity). It also features some more advanced options, that allow you to modify how the icons behave.

The maximum number of icons is 100 (in Aqua Icons it was set to 30). In addition, Flying Icons can run on two screens simultaneously. Aqua Icons only supported one screen. Of course, many of these options come with performance penalties, but should run within a few percent CPU on recent high end desktops and portables.
