In Flash terms, there is no difference between coding and scripting. And damn, I'm not great with API... otherwise I might have been able to give this a shot. Probably wouldn't have done anyway though :P

BoMToons 2008-07-03 11:35:40

It's not the flash drawing API, it's our own API to tie game results and status into the main Woogi World engine.

gankro 2008-07-03 12:50:23

what kind of api integration are we talking? same rules that applied to the contest? because if so I am highly interested... Should I just send my coding portfolio... or...?

BoMToons 2008-07-03 12:50:23

Similar ideas as the contest, send your stuff to that link and our programming team will take a look.

The-EXP 2008-07-03 12:58:27

I think he means woogi's API, not the Flash drawing API, silly :p

BoMToons 2008-07-03 12:58:27

Exactly.

jmtb02 2008-07-03 12:59:52

Woogi World looks like Pangea.

ToFlashOrNotToFlash 2008-07-03 13:34:01

Wasn't it called "Wigi World" or something before...?

BoMToons 2008-07-03 13:34:01

Or something.

Pig-Fart 2008-07-03 13:42:43

What the hell's an "opporunity"?

BoMToons 2008-07-03 13:42:43

Oops, good catch...I must have accidentally used the "T-remover"

JonBro 2008-07-03 19:52:42

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it used to be called Wiggi World. Why was it changed?

gankro 2008-07-03 21:49:15

@jonbro: I believe it involved theoretical lawsuits and the wiggles, of all people.

BoMToons 2008-07-03 21:49:15

Yep, just playing it safe since we can't really afford to deal with a big time lawsuit.

Rammer 2008-07-06 18:46:17

when you say "capable," what does that mean in terms of difficulty?

what should one be able to program to be effective at this job?

BoMToons 2008-07-06 18:46:17

Pretty simple as far as the game engines go, a little more advanced knowledge is needed for tie-ing your game into our API, but if you have any skill at all with AS logic, you won't have trouble figuring things out.

Rammer 2008-07-07 21:26:12

if i were employed by WW, would i have to churn out a steady supply of games, or is it more like sponsorships in that people are paid just whenever they make a game?

BoMToons 2008-07-07 21:26:12

You'd have specific projects and deadlines to work on. You wouldn't be developing your own games at your leisure, it's a real job.
