I've been googling and googling, and can't locate the port that apparently they did of their "ninja physics" code from AS1 to AS3.  Does anyone know where it is?

Unfortunately the tutorials are all AS1; we never ported that code because we ended up finding a better, simpler approach (and also, the AS1 code is optimized in ways that are useless now).

The ideas in the tutorial still work, there are just better/easier ways to approach it rather than having each tile be a convex shape.

For N v2.0, what we do is generate the line- and circle-segments that are on the surface of the world, then we add that geometry to a grid and use distance-to and ray-intersect queries to collide against it.

We haven't released the source yet, although we gave it to someone for haxeflixel so it should be on a github somewhere (sorry, I can't find the link!). It's pretty straightforward except for generating the geometry on the surface of the tiles, that's a bit tricky... and I suspect there are easier ways to do it than our approach.

Here's a link to source from N v2.0, showing the new way of doing things (loose linesegs/circlesegs in a grid): https://github.com/HaxeFlixel/flixel/issues/1808#issuecomment-213016493

Can I just fanboy a little bit and say N was pretty much the reason I almost had to repeat 11th grade, and the Metanet tutorials on collision detection played a huge part in my development as a programmer.

Thank you so much!
