I have a dust covered personal project that I created in ACTIONSCRIPT that I started porting to JS recently. I had an audio bug because the synth I created was too simple, so every time a note stopped playing it made an annoying click sound.

Just fixed it by using attack/decay parameters in a gain node.

It feels good. next steps feel a lot easier, and I can think about doing some more fun stuff.

Is it a synth of some sorts? Where Actionscript even runs nowadays?

It's a step sequencer, and I'm porting it to js precisely because nowhere supports actionscript/flash

How much JS differs from ActionScript? I have an assumption they are pretty similar

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

they are similar, actionscript will give you a good foundation for event based programming, hooking up buttons.

You won't have as easy access to drawing shapes, I'm not sure if all the libraries you might have used (like box 2d) will be the same.

Use the mozilla documentation for JS eg : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Boolean

There's probably more logic traps in JS than in AS, but I'm not sure.

I wish more devs would concentrate on their older bugs.

[-] Kissaki@programming.dev 1 points 4 months ago

I let them ripe for 10 years so I can then concentrate on older bugs.
