Alright, I’ve decided to make a tutorial for you guys on how to create a brick breaker game in ActionScript 2.0. It’ll be very similar to my one for AS3, except coded differently. So, here [...]

Hey guys. In this tutorial, to celebrate the announcement of Adobe’s CS4 suite, I’ll show you guys how to buy programs from Adobe’s new CS4 Suite much cheaper than what you’d get from Adobe itself (and legally too). You can also buy many other programs for much less than you would get if you’re eligible. [...]
