I hate puzzle games, but this game is getting good reviews on Flashcoders by developers & designers alike. Basically, you have to untangle nodes; each node is attached to other nodes, and you drag things around to help untangle the mess.
I got bored at level 3, but supposedly level 17 on is hard unless you have an Alienware like me; meaning, if you get a script timeout error, just click “no” and wait for the code to finish running.
I got really excited taking this survey. I remember hearing about it way back, something about Contribute the Contribute Team formulating a Blog Authoring Advisory Council.
Then, last week I get this email saying take a survey and be entered to win a new Apple iPod Mini.
As I took the survey, I started to see that the people who wrote the survey suffer the same pains of blogging that I do. It’s really exciting to know there is the potential for a product that will allow you to blog, built buy a company such as Macromedia. I’m sold.
Anyway, please take the survey; you might win iPod Mini!
This game is pretty cool. I helped test it about 2 weeks ago. Benjamin sent the link on a Friday afternoon which is when only the freaks remain online and fully active in the mailing lists vs. going home. As such, he didn’t get many testers that evening, which meant I actually got to play the creator. He pawn me the first game, I got practice the 2nd with someone else, and then the third game, playing the creator was darn close… I made too many robots which are fast, but not as powerful.
Anyway, fun game, like Starcraft, but with a Dark Crystal type of feel; game’s got a lot of character, low learning curve, and requires good mouse, keyboard, and micro-management skills. Fun stuff!
Please help him test it out!

For the app we’re building, we have to preview in a browser to get it to work. I’m still working on getting it to deploy with our war file, but for now, we can at least test our changes quickly in a browser. I know this build file isn’t perfect (disclaimer: it’s my first one), but it was a little tricky getting Firefox to open up our pre-made HTML file that housed the SWF and I figured it’d save someone else the time it took my manager and I to get the filepath right. Here’s the results of that, with an optional opening with the Flash Player instead commented out. Additionally, we’re working on getting our HTML & JavaScript to replace the current Flashout one, but for now, I had fun learning Ant so I could help our Java developers get our files into the build process.
You can use this task with Ant in Eclipse utilizing MTASC. More information on utilizing Ant with SWFMill & MTASC can be found here at OSFlash.
BTW, anyone know of any good HTML/XML beautifiers that are online? Thanks!
