DeadCoats
Benjamin Franklin is all that stands between a hoard of British zombies and everyone in the new world. Armed with a home-made lightening-musket, your goal is to zap the noggins off as many zombie Red Coats as possible.
Stage 3D
Stage 3D, previously codenamed "Molehill," is a new method/model of 2D and 3D rendering developed by Adobe and supported with a new Stage3D API—a set of low-level GPU-accelerated APIs enabling advanced 2D and 3D capabilities across multiple screens and devices (desktop, mobile, and TV) through the Adobe Flash Platform runtimes. These APIs provide advanced 2D and 3D developers with the flexibility to leverage GPU hardware acceleration for significant performance gains.
Adobe Flash Player previously rendered thousands of non z-buffered triangles at approximately 30 Hz. With the new Stage3D APIs, you can expect hundreds of thousands of z-buffered triangles to be rendered at HD resolution in full screen at around 60 Hz. Using the new Stage3D APIs in Flash Player and Adobe AIR will make it possible to deliver sophisticated 3D experiences across almost every computer and device connected to the Internet.

Getting started with Stage 3D |
To create hardware-accelerated content based on Stage 3D, you have a couple of choices. For developers interested in programming against the low-level AGAL language, refer to the documentation and book sections below. For developers wishing to leverage their ActionScript skills, choose one of the 2D or 3D frameworks below.
