Also making games like this would actually be a horrible game jam.

oh, what was that site called... ?

it was a small site I used to go to when I was a kid, and it had some decent flash games on it.
Something like blacksheep.som or albinosheep.com or something like that.

it was just a big white page with a couple images on it linking to some games. I dunno what it's like now or even if it's still around.

I'd assume Tom would make a post containing the themes for both jams. 7pm ET

That moment when you've been on a coding roll, and Pandora trolls you with 10 bad songs in a row, and you can't focus any more...

I has a vlc playlist for coding :3

Everyone please play this, and if anything spawns in the middle of a tree then tell me.

Also if you finish it then tell me.

I don't know what should happen when you get all of them :/

Nothing spawned in the middle of a tree, however:
-Orbs/Trees spawn around the cabin, and are visible even when you are inside of it
-A tree spawned right in front of the door D:
-I swear it's rigged, I am yet to find a 5th orb! :P

Love the game, really cool concept and really well executed :D

They form to make one giant "thing" which then kills the player >:D

This might have been a more manageable theme with my lack of time this weekend

Obviously things like physics and 3D graphical engines in the scale you see them in libraries are too big to tackle just for a single project so there's more incentive to use them. However, the features that Flixel present (Cameras, collisions, tilemaps, path finding and particles) are usually the aspects of a game that are fun to do and perfect.

I'm using away3D, TweenLite, ASQL and Starling for my current project.

Most projects I use TweenLite and Starling.

so i've discovered that all AS3 applications can use the Socket and SecureSocket classes, but only AIR applications can use the ServerSocket class.

looks like i'll be able to submit Gold of Odin to NG, after all. The difference is the web and mobile versions won't be able to become a server.
i'm fine with that.

not quite. If you try and use the ServerSocket class without AIR, it'll come up with a whole bunch of errors because it doesn't exist outside of the airglobal.swc

good job, it's pretty much like mine - so what's the whole domainpolicy function for, anyway?

I use Flixel a good bit and most everyone uses TweenLite if you count that.

Flash CS6 spritesheet export is pretty awesome (artist has it, not me sadly :(). I have it set up so that the character class takes in its spritesheet, and you add "animations" (name, an array of rects gotten from the XML, fps) and then play the animation based on the name. I think it was ND2D where I saw something similar, but I haven't looked at that framework in a while, so I don't remember. Only problem now is flipping the tiles, but I'll probably just .draw() the input spritesheet flipped. And the GJ8 musician is getting his monitor looked at tomorrow, so hopefully he can get started so we can be done before Halloween (please?).

What are YOU working on?

procrastinating working on GoO by doing my homework :P

I just released one game to FGL about a week ago, still watching that, Tumble Towers 2
And tonight I'm about to release Slime's Cake Quest to FGL tonight, an expansion from my Game Jam game.

What do ya guys think?

Not playable without an FGL dev account.

huh, that's odd. I'll take a closer look at it, but i'm pretty sure the same effect is achieved with the Security.allowDomain() and Security.allowInsecureDomain() functions - at least, that's how I see it.
