BoxCAD Retirement and Source

Well, this is kind of sad – like saying goodbye to a long-time friend for good.

BoxCAD will be back – but only in name.  As the complexity of the application has grown, it’s shaky foundation is proving extremely inefficient and bug-prone to work with.

BoxCAD was my first proper AS3 application, and my first non-trivial application in general. Eight months ago, when I started the project – I knew very little of AS3 or design patterns – and it shows.

So I am starting from scratch. My plans for the final product are as big as ever, but I’m taking a step back at the moment to do it right.

One note of interest – I will be developing much of the functionality as independant classes in a library that can be applied to other similar applications. Taken as a whole, it will almost be a game framework – except that the objects will have no interdependence. Updates, of course, will be posted here.

Regarding the source code – please read the readme at /BoxCAD/readme.txt!

    Hi,

    This is the best app I have ever seen. Anthony you must be a genius.

    Source Download link is not working anymore.

    Anyone have a download location?

    Sincerely,

    Sorry about that. Still trying to get things sorted after a recent.. er.. “server incident.” : )

    appreciated for your time anthony to send me an email about the link. I will spend my time on your code to learn.

  5. Anthony says:

    Oh, no, don’t try to learn from my code! As my first large coding project in general, and my first AS3 project at all, the code is horrendous.

    How is your rebuild going?

  7. Anthony says:

    It’s not. Pretty much a pipe-dream at the moment.
