Jabberwocky In ActionScript

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the lighter-side dept.

VeryVito writes "You can tell Flash programming is beginning to grow up: It's not just for designers anymore, but for real, honest-to-goodness tech geeks. As evidence, I present The ActionScript Jabberwocky. Enjoy!" It's almost as good as reading it in the original Klingon.

    Jabberwocky in actionscript.. What's next may I ask? Shakespeare in perl?

      Ohh, that's old. At least in regular expressions:
      /bb|[^b]{2}/
      I remember seeing that in a ThinkGeek t-shirt.

      To add a little geek to this, my friends and I have long discussed that isn't actually correct.

      To be or not to be implies an exlcusive or (known to some as XOR). That regular expression matches both 2-b's or not 2 b's.

      I know, we have to much time on our hands.

    surely 'brillig' should be set to true?

    Isn't that like bragging about your Packard Bell 486SX-25 running Windows 95 on a 14" grayscale monitor? With no mouse?

    The player may be widely distributed but it won't run on Linux on my AMD64 machine (or a Mac, or a number of other architectures)

    That's funny- my (OSX) Mac runs Flash just fine. It also runs Flash fine in Classic emulation mode Not only that, I've got the MX development kit for it, which is indistinguishable from the PC version.

    Or do you mean Flash isn't available for Linux running on a Mac? I'm sure all 3 of you must be very unhappy. If you're using odd combinations of hardware, don't expect to get much commercial support.
