Note that this library is rewritten and renamed to HydraP2P.
Read more about it here.

Yesterday i uploaded an ActionScript 3 Library to github,
which provides an simplified API for the new peer-to-peer features of flash player 10.1.

I anounced it via Twitter and included Ralph Hauwert and Tom Krcha in my tweet,
as i knew they were working with that API at this moment.
I didn’t expect to get retweeted by Ralph and getting into a blog post by Tom,
i got about 30 new followers on twitter and over 200 hits on my blog in a matter of hours.

2 days ago, my good friend Mark Barcinski dropped by my house to hang out,
after a few drinks and a delicious pizza our nerdyness started to take over our conversations.

While talking about the future of Flash 3D and Unity,
the idea came up to use an XBox360, and run some 3D stuff on it.
So we got on it, and quickly  found the Microsoft XNA Game Studio which allows you to code Applications that will run on the XBox360 and Windows.

But before we could start, we had to install Windows and install Microsoft C# Express on my MacBook, as that is the only option of environment.
Having some troubles here and there, in the end of the day we finally managed to compile the first sample application to my XBox360.

The next morning, not really being awake, i had to go on and dig into the XNA Framework. After a while i got used to C# and had a basic understanding of how
to draw on the canvas and render 3D objects on the XBox360.

So, after more then 2 years of blogging abstinence I am back in the scene!

I have no idea what’s going to come out of this blog or in which direction the whole thing is going to move.

Just stay tuned and see what happens.

Cheers Dominic
