I’ve had a lot of requests from people wanting to the halo 2 game tracker on their sites so I’ve decided to make it available to download. I know I should have done it a long time ago, and yes I know halo 3 comes out in about 25 days. But if you still want to use it, then here it is.

Of course I’d appreciate it if you left some link or credit to me on there but let’s be honest either your going to or your not and I can’t stop you, so do whatever you want with it. All the source files should be in the zip folder. If you want to change the default gamertag that loads up look in the index file and change “gamertag=Test1″ to whatever you want. Also I added the two new maps to it now so those thumbs should be showing up.

Sorry I haven’t been able to work on this anymore but I’ve been really busy working on SnapPages lately. Who knows I might do something for halo 3.

Just as a warning this post doesn’t really have any helpful tips, it’s more just me venting some thoughts about my personal experience with the new actionscript.

First off you must understand that got started in this business as a designer. I’ve always had a passion for design and I only really got into programing as a way to enhance my designs and make them come alive. So I started learning programing in actionscript 1. Now if you ask “real” programmers they will tell you how it was barely a real programing language. It was extremely simple and let you get away with a lot. So “real” programmers didn’t like it but as a designer I loved it. It made me feel smart and say “Hey look at me, I’m a programmer now too!”. (more…)
