I’m giving a talk on Flixel at Flash Brighton (here) on July 6th at 7pm. The title will be “Making games with Flixel” (or something that means the same, only pithier) and the session will be in two parts: a quick (but very informative) intro to Flixel, followed by a demonstration during which I’ll attempt to make a short game BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES.
I’ll be aiming my talk at anyone with an interest in making games and a basic grasp of object-oriented programming, so you don’t need to be an ActionScript expert to come along – and Flixel doesn’t need a copy of Flash to run, so no need to worry about that either.
If you’re anywhere nearby, do come along. If not, don’t worry – it’ll be streamed live at http://live.flashbrighton.org/, and you can contribute to the white heat of intellectual debate via the chat box there or on by tweeting @flashbrighton.
UPDATE: The event is now up on upcoming. Sign up! The session description, like all Flash Brighton session descriptions, is a literary pastiche by our resident copywriter. But it also serves as a handy guide to what it’s like sitting next to me in the pub after this sort of thing.

Oh, what a shame! Cross your fingers for me anyway.
