Okay, I, thePalindrome, wanted to ask which would be better, as I want to be prepared for my first (mini)LD…<\/p>\n

Which is better, making the game with C++, or AS3?<\/p>\n

I have experience with C++ and Java, I’m thinking C++, but it wouldn’t be web-compatible…<\/p>\n

What would you guys say?<\/p>","time":"July 17th, 2011 5:43 pm","title":"Yay, Mini LD!"}
