Throwing in the Towel.

Well, I struggled valiantly (I’d like to think…), but it’s time to give up. There’s no way I can go from what I have now to a playable game in an hour.

My problem: New platform. Weird Float errors I don’t understand, unfamiliar boilerplate at the start, I just should have used flex/flashdevelop and left it be. But the biggest problem — getting mouse events to work with haXe. Stupid mouse events. I still don’t know what I’m doing wrong :P . And there seems to be very little good documentation on the event system in general.

I’ll probably still end up finishing my game, but it’ll be a week or two before I do so.

    ah.. I was just poking around trying to find your entry. Sorry to hear about the learning curve issues. The past mini LD I tried to learn AS3 for it and it just didn’t work out in time so I didn’t have an entry to submit on that.

    Anyway.. luckily these compos just keep on coming… ;)
