Google App Engine

I've been experimenting with the Google AppEngine over the last few days. So far, all python aside, it's pretty sweet.

I went out and made a little blog as a sample app.

My favorite feature so far is the deployment script. It supports versioning, rollbacks, etc. - all with a click/click of your mouse.

A couple of years ago I started working on a casual game in AS2 called Five Phases. The concept was based around the five phases of Chinese mythology and their associated elements and attributes. Essentially you combine five colored stones to release their energy.

Recently I started converting / refactoring Five into a Flex AS3 project. The resulting alpha release is below. I haven't bundled any instructions in yet, so I'm posting a brief rundown below the game.
