FlashCamp SF 2008 - Race to the Bottom with Garnet Chaney
Inspired by this weeks stock market drops, and the “taking 3-d objects and putting them in 3-d space”, this game challenges you to get to click to the bottom with as few clicks as possible, and as fast as possible. Click wrong, and you go back to the start! Later game levels introduce a bigger stack, and various motions of the objects to confuse you. Can you click your way to the bottom!

AS3 Cloud APIs - Nonoba Payment API
This morning Nonoba Payment showed up in the listing of API’s to approve. The API is a payment service that you can integrate directly into your Flash/Flex based game. The Nonoba Payment API provides a user account service that provides payment properties and a user data storage including achievements and a scoring methods. The service pays the game developer 70% of the money transacted for the game and gives the developer direct access to services for integration.
It is really nice to see an API like this exists to make game/app payment easier for developers.
If you know of other great AS3 Cloud/Service APIs, please submit them here!
