VVVVVV’s source code is now public, 10 year anniversary jam happening now
You know, people like to crap on Flash (and there are valid reasons to do so), but I really miss how <i>quick</i> you could get a game built with it, while it still felt like "real" programming.<p>With Flash, I felt like a nice "one-stop-shop" in a lot of ways; you could draw your graphics, animate them, and code them, and you could get a simple game made in an hour or two.<p>I haven't tried Unity or really any other dedicated game engine, so maybe you get that feeling with those, but I will always be nostalgic for Flash; it really helped make programming "fun" for me.
