The third of Austin TX's regular game jam sessions. A casual, collaborative effort from the notoriously rambunctious game developers, artists, and enthusiasts of Austin, TX. Entirely focused on the creation of 1 small Flash game using Flixel and ActionScript 3.0.
Feb. 27th, 2010 (Saturday)
Austin Public Library: Carver Branch, 1161 Angelina St, Austin, TX
10:00AM - 4:30PM
Our previous adventure, FlxJam 1, was a huge success. Everyone had a great time and left with an awesome experience under his (there were no females) belt. A total of 12 developers attended, each filling a different niche. Most of the programmers didn't know Flixel before coming, but learned quickly enough to be useful (it ain't hard if you know ActionScript). Even if you don't know ActionScript, you're welcome to come learn!
We managed to hock together this completed (albeit unpolished) game:
