~Virtual Dynamic Weather~

This is something I have been playing with for the last couple of weeks. It's a very simple ActionScript3 particle system with less than 30 lines of code, but it gets a pretty rain and snow effect, complete with wind gusts, lightning and thunder.

On the technical side, this was part of my Flash programming self-study covering tweens, module encapsulation, reusable classes, and dynamic particle systems. The program is made entirely with vectors, and that helped keeping the final file size under 140Kb - which is smaller than my usual gallery deviations.

What I find amusing about AS3 programming is that the final program can run on all major operating systems (PC, Mac and Linux) without any changes. Many other programming languages promised this in the past, but AS3 is the 1st one I tried in the real world and it really works!

Hope you like it and thanks for coming by!

Tranquility is the key, so apparently, I'm locked out.
