I'm back, and ready to ActionScript

Hey everyone, I'm back! Looks like things have changed dramatically over in Journal Land. It's going to take a while to figure out the kinks with the new system. After (too long) a hiatus, I'm back at game development, looking to shake off the rust.

My plan to reboot is to teach myself game development in ActionScript for the Flash Player. My impression is that Flash is a neat method of making small games or prototyping neat ideas and sticking them on the internet for all to see. There is also a bunch of great libraries now, like flixel and FlashPunk.

What I'll be posting here is an informal journal of my progress as I work my way through ActionScript programming: what's neat, what's problematic, and what bone-headed mistakes I make along the way. Enjoy!
