So I’ve been getting back into Flash after having fiddled with it a very little bit a couple years ago, and my first real attempt at building something respectable is done:

FLEE!, a simple implementation of a classic computer game called “Robots”. Abstract polygonal graphics! Minimalist trappings! Combinatoric background music (129 possible soundtrack loops)! Go give it a shot!

I’m trying to do things right this time around and actually learn the language from the ground up amidst my instant-gratification fiddling about (see above). I’m impressed so far by how much more robust Actionscript 3 is than AS2 was. So far it’s a lot of fun, and it’s nice to have an excuse to do some programming other than one-off perl scripts.
