So I just wanted to take a break and recap where I’m at after 4-5 hours of work.   Somehow, the stars have aligned and my rash decision to use a programming language I’ve never even touched before has proven incredibly successful. Who knew Actionscript 3 was basically Java? I didn’t, that’s for sure. So with that in mind, most of my time building this game has been “I’m great at this!” rather than “WHY WON’T IT WORK UGH”, which is a change. Box2D with flash works a charm, and everything translates fairly easily. I think CS5 has a great code editor, the code completion is far less intrusive than eclipse.

Bonus progress screenshot for you!

No clues on what the game is though, or how it relates to the theme. You’ll find out later.
