  Hi Nicolas,

  Thanks for sharing those slides, do you know if an audio recording was made of your talk? If so, do you think it will be made available online?

  thanks
  Matthew

  Great meeting again Nicolas and good luck with the house! If it's too much of a jungle in the garden, call me and I'll come down with my chainsaw ;-)

  Thanks Jens, I'm understanding this as a promise then :D
  BTW, thank you for the very nice review of FFK09 on http://flashmagazine.com !

  Hi Nicolas,

  I really enjoyed your session last week! I was wondering if you could also share the star system example with the four steep how to optimize the code?

  thanks again for the secrets behind the bytecode :)

  Here's the full source-code. You can use FastList instead of Array to improve performances, and after that store the Math class into a local variable or use * invSqrt(d * d * d) instead of dividing by Math.sqrt(d * d * d)

  class Star {
  
      public var x : Float;
      public var y : Float;
      public var vx : Float;
      public var vy : Float;

      }

      var stars : Array<Star>;

      var tf : flash.text.TextField;
  
      function new(root) {
          this.root = root;
          prepare();
      }

          bitmap = new flash.display.BitmapData(root.stage.stageWidth,root.stage.stageHeight,true,0xFF000000);
