I rewrote the color chooser gadget in actionscript/flex and added new features that allow users to more easily find the colors they want. Now instead of just having sliders for RGB, you can point to the color you want or use the HSV and RGB sliders.

You can now add up to five turtles to the turtle gadget. If you already have the turtle gadget installed, you should see that he/she has a new friend.

The next feature I will be adding is the ability to change colors. I’m going to work on the behavior of the turtles too. I’d like them to be able to get tired and full. It would also be nice if they could move around without user interaction. Your suggestions are welcomed.

I upgraded the type-it gadget to actionscript 3 and made the intermediate and advanced modes a little more difficult. For some reason, the font I used in actionscript 2 would not load in actionscript 3 using the flex compiler.

I removed all the intermediate and advanced high scores that were earned with the previous version.

I finally finished version one of the turtle gadget tonight. Right now, you can feed the turtle, pick him up, and make him swim or walk to your mouse. Over the next few days, I will be making improvements and fixing bugs.

This gadget was built using actionscript 3 with the free flex sdk.
