A little behind but I am near conclusion with my tech. decision for TOJAM. I knew it was going to be Flash but I always wondered it’s ability in terms of gaming. Well… I learned there are some really neat games out there:

• http://www.samorost.net/samorost1/
  
• http://www.samorost.net/samorost2/
• http://www.candystand.com/play.do?id=17974

As to the which route to go… I have come across several interesting articles [ google group | adobe devnet ] in comparison as well as Flash game in general [ flash magazine ].

While Flex has that multiplayer capability I was looking into and Flash has graphical aspects down pat, I must start somewhere if I am to meet the ToJam deadline. For now, the choice seems Flex Builder and learn the ins and outs to create at least a simple movement or PacMan type game in two weeks.

Jin out.
