5 Weeks Remaining

Jackie has successfully drawn up the website. You can actually visit the prototype (with no game currently) at edge-project.tripod.com.

I can't say as much for myself, however.

I'm still tearing my hair out trying to make this happen in Flash. I'm stuck trying to get the organism to follow the mouse.

Yes, I'm that behind.

Unfortunately, I can't go any farther until I solve this problem. I've posted on 3 big Flash forums (ActionScript.org, Flashkit, and Kirupa) and no help yet. Last time I had a problem (drawing the polygon shapes dynamically) I posted on ActionScript.org before going to bed and had a solution the next morning. Hopefully, the same thing will happen this time, with 3 solutions to pick from. I have it all coded, and I feel like it should work, but I'm probably missing some obscure detail that's probably counter-intuitive and takes 4 years of actionscripting before getting used to.

That's all for now. I'll update again when I get an answer.
