Hi,
As a designer and a bit actionscripter ( 2.0 i am working on a game. We possibly want to use the PushButton engine. As the game is planned to make use and be played on social networks like Facebook, mySpace and thelike... im wondering if that wouldnt be a great addition to the Engine.

In previous projects i had the possibility to do some rapid prototyping. Would be great to have things in the engine that make rapid prototyping for games easier...

My 5 cents
Will add more offcourse during the project.

Regards,
Math Notermans

Hi Math,

To be able to quickly link or place a game onto facebook sounds like a good idea. I will put that onto the 'wishlist'.

What kind op 'rapid prototyping' functionality would you like. Can you describe some?

As the Pushbutton engine move slowly to its first stable version , I think you made a good choice to use that for your game. I wish you the best of luck with your game.

I be finishing new functionality for makeyourflashgame.com where you can create a project and show progress ( with text and screenshots ) so maybe you can show some progress there in the future...
