Your approach is nice, I coded the game with AS3 and so far I used the same one.. Can' t wait to see how you ll do for the rest of the game (calculate the area was tough for me). I am pretty sure it will be more clean than my code. Anyway, I learn stuff from your tutorials so keep up the good work! (but please don' t add powerups in your tutorial, at least not before I make colorfill 2:) Best Kokosan Hi Emanuele, I am Kokosan the guy who made colorfill.

They are very useful. :) Also, I sent you an email some time ago, you haven't replied to me. It was about some nice prototype. :) PS: Yes, I admit it I am ADVERTISING! eaglevision.890m.com/blog Very nice post, you should make more of these “make a game like __” tutorials.
