Particles JS tutorial ported to actionscript 2.0 in Adobe Flash CS3 (2015)
In 2015, I followed this tutorial http://www.playfuljs.com/particle-effects-are-easy/ and ported the javascript to actionscript 2.0 as best as I could with my knowledge at the time.
The end result was somewhat different from the demo that the JS author posted and ran much slower and unoptimised on my swf file.
The end result however, was a fun little experiment.

This was one of the first times that I tried porting something from one language from another. Especially the fact that I didn't know JavaScript except for the fact that both JavaScript and ActionScript 2.0 had similar syntax.
