https://bitshifter.wordpress.com/flash-games
A game developer in Wellington, New Zealand. This is my page dedicated to programming games in Flash ActionScript. I dabbled in writing Flash games around 2001/2002. I started developing Flash versions of two retro games, Solomon’s Key and Quazatron but they remain unfinished. I also developed one commercial Flash game, Lungfish Toxic Avenger. Now days I’ve moved on to writing PC games for my school project, Goliath. The first game I started programming. Not finished yet, but playable. NZ / AU Game Links.

A game developer in Wellington, New Zealand. Slashdot runs serious story on April fools day. Switched to Linux (again). April 23, 2007. 102 Ubuntu was a close second. It seems to be the Linux distribution of choice at the moment but I found it a bit too brown for my liking. Ultimately this screen shot. Did it for me. I thought this looked like a real clean, uncluttered and easy to use desktop. This is the default Gnome. Desktop, I’ve been a die-hard KDE. Despite all the beta software I’ve installed...
