Mini LD 8 !! …and a conundrum
I love the theme of the mash up and am scouring the archive grid looking at old thumbnails. I’m trying to find a concept that won’t be too ambitious at all. The reason? Because this weekend I will make some progress towards learning AS3 I hope. I have my Essential ActionScript 3.0 book handy. I have my Flash CS4 Professional book handy. I have healthy snacks… I have angry chihuahuas.. (well not really, but my wife and I are picking up a new puppy tomorrow! Shiba Inu mix, not chihuahua I’m afraid.) 
I have already made 1 Flash AS2 game so far but know nothing about actually using the Flash tool for making animations and such things. I also “know” AS2 in that sense that I’ve been programming in other languages a long time and can now brute force any kind of ugly code into working but I’m far from the land of knowing best practices so far! I really want to push on past AS2 though.
I think it would be fun to find a mash-up game that will ideally not be too large in scope that will allow me to get to know the Flash authoring tool and AS3. It does mean I have to make some more progress in the AS book.
Only time will tell what will happen. Epic Fail? We shall see!
