The other night I was messing around with ActionScript 3 and Flex. Flash and related technologies aren’t things I’ve used before, so I was really impressed by how quickly a polished app could be put together.
I’ve got an idea to make a kind of networked Flash game, so I spent an hour or so writing a simple “echo” client and server, using Flex/AS3 on the client side and Java for the server. Despite my complete ineptitude with Flex and ActionScript, the two apps were talking to each other in no time, so I guess that means the idea’s a goer.
I’m quite busy with work and wedding preparations, but hopefully I’ll have some time in the next few weeks to work on it some more (and blog about it).
