Decided that, now that I'm nearly done with python, that I'm going to go back to learning AS3. I've been playing some of Terry Cavanagh's games (VVVVVV, Super Hexagon, Don't Look Back) and I'd love to make something like that. I know I could on basically any platform, but flash has such a huge userbase, and I'm not sure it'll actually go out for a few more years yet, and if it does, there's always HTML5.
I had to do GUI programming in Python today and by God. I wanted to throw it out of the window (no puns intended)!
Why does it have to be so... different? -.-
Good luck with the AS3 stuff and I still recommend trying out FlashPunk once you get a bearing of things
