    It’s been out for about a month now, but I’ve only just now gotten around to posting about it.

    In January I built a version of Blockdot’s Three Card Monte Flash game for the iPhone.  It’s free on the App Store, so check it out when you have a few minutes to kill.

  • A sequel in the works…

    I’ve been debating whether or not to mention it yet, as the project has had kind of a rocky start, but with the launch of Flash CS5 fast approaching and with the number of visitors to this site increasing every week, I thought it was time.

    I am working on a follow-up of sorts to my first book.  The name isn’t finalized yet, but it will cover more advanced game development in Flash for the iPhone.  I am super-excited to be working on it and to be at the forefront of this budding technology.  For those who have expressed a desire to see more advanced topics, this book will skip all of the basics and jump right into examples with collision detection, simulated 3D effects, and remoting services, not to mention the new iPhone features like accelerometer and multi-touch support.  I will post more details when I complete the manuscript and the book goes to the presses.
