Extreme LD?

I am hardly going to have any time this weekend for the full LD experience but I may be crazy enough to try and create a game once I see the theme tonight.  I figure I’ll only have a bit of time tonight, a bit more Saturday morning, and a couple hours on a plane on Sunday.  I love LDs so much it is tough to miss one of the main ones when problems come up with your schedule.

If I manage to make a game it will be using Flash and Actionscript 3.0 possibly using the FlashPunk game library.

Go for it! I have a lot of schoolwork to do this weekend (finals next week), but I’m going to try to do a simple game.

How does FlashPunk compare to Flixel? I’d like to get away from using Flixel, so if it’s any good for quick development I might give it a try

@mocker I think a lot of the differences just have to do with personal development and code style to a large extent. I found that Flixel just didn’t fit the way I think or work on a game for some reason. I tried out FlashPunk and it was a natural fit for me. Both are great frameworks and are used by plenty of people so it likely comes down to style. I also want to try the PushButton engine too!

Hope you can participate, Dave! I’m gonna be rocking flixel again (although I have also thought about maybe moving to flashpunk… how is it?)
