Together with a colleague Piet Santy (aka Ploem), who did the artwork, we created a Flash Game for a friend of ours. Elections are up in Belguim and Dominique Dehaene needs votes! One way to get some attention and publicity is off course the internet. It was great to work with CS5, but I did have some problems with code completion and Flash Builder. Also, in Flash Builder, lots of classes weren’t found. I probably haven’t searched enough to find out the solutions of these problems.
I really like creating once in a while such a small game. No design patterns are involved, no architecture, just programming and quickly seeing result! With WebORB for PHP together with MySql I created a TOP 10 highscores. When the game finishes, your score is stored in the database and top 10 is fetched and displayed. Setting up WebORB for PHP was very easy. I just had some problems with a function that I called Echo, which is a reserved word in PHP and off course not knowing the language PHP. But everything was created very fast.

The result can be found here.
