I’m thinking of making a very simple gamelet as a warm-up before the weekend. \u00a0I’ll be using Flash for my LD game, and I haven’t done any start-to-finish development on anything in Flash yet (just contributing to some collaborative development at work). \u00a0I know I’ll run into a lot of things I’ll need to look up and figure out how to do in Flash, so it seems like a good idea to do a dry run now, and get those questions answered before they come up this weekend.<\/p>\n

The concept and “gameplay” of the gamelet won’t be important; it’s just hitting all the API calls, etc., that I’ll likely run into when doing the real game this weekend.<\/p>\n

Anyone else doing anything like this?<\/p>","time":"August 16th, 2010 1:31 pm","title":"Making a warm-up gamelet?"}
