Beginner flash game development: Start with framework or from scratch?
- by captaincomic
I want to write some simple flash games (as a hobby). I have a lot of programming experience, but no experience with Flash/ActionScript.
My question is:
As a beginner, is it a good idea to start with a framework like Flixel, FlashPunk or PushButton or would it be better to write my first games from scratch?
Also, if you vote for using a framework, which one would you recommend?
What are the differences?
And another question: What about Flex, would you recommend using it?
