Nice little gadget. This game definitely fits in the category. There could be improvements, however, like more gears.

This is my first project in flash and it is tailor for a future game. The only thing that I manually draw in the gear is one tooth, the rest is created with AS3.
Nothing special but it might become handy later on to auto-generate random gear mechanism.
That's pretty cool, and you did all that with just AS3, that's impressive.
I can think of quite a verity of ways to use something like this. First things off the top of my head...
gears on an opening and closing menu, train or tank wheels, background eye-candy for any number of situations, the list could go on really.
One thing though I think you might get a smoother gear rotation if you turn the frame rate up a little.
Still very cool.

Thanks and you are right about the frame rate issue, it becomes much smoother once you increase it.
it is a nice idea.. but that is all I can see it as being... is an idea.. not a game. I think we all know this isn't going to pass
Technically not a game.. :/ sorry man
That could be the start of something... There are really not enough options : only 2 gears, we do not know the max number of teeth, speed...the black marks are even not aligned at start.
Keep developping !
