Tweetcoding, Tons of Fun. A huge Challenge, too.

Think you’ve got what it takes? Write a Flash ActioScript sketch/application in 140 characters or less. It’s harder than you think. Check out Grant Skinner’s overview and then read the rules. After you are thoroughly confused, check out the entry page for a little clarity and some great work. Prepare to be amazed at what a very creative community has put together. I have a couple I tossed together in the mix, but the real beauties belong to Quasimondo. His mastery of ActionScript has made 140 characters seem effortless.

With talk of more rounds to come and murmurs of various permutations of the gimmee code included to help you along in your quest, this should be fun to follow. Think of it as a communal geek Actionscript tennis carried on for all the world to be confused at.

I’d love to see a TweetCoding that offers Flex as a option, or perhaps allows for a couple external packages as some of the gimee code. URLRequests (for e4x madness), maybe extra audio stuff, a little 3D, maybe some filters. I feel tired thinking about the late nights already.
