BTW, you will definitely get more posts on your blog if you don't make people sign in. I know you can get spam, but my wordpress blog came with an amazing spam blocker and it's never been a problem for me. I'm sure Blogger probably has something similar.

Haha, this was great! Really, though, platforming can be one of the more difficult things to learn for a new programmer, so don't beat yourself up. It makes for comedic videos of robots jumping in mid air, but it isn't a space shooter - you actually have to figure out a bit of physics. I really had no idea what Sin Cos or Tan were really used for until I started programming, sooo....
But yeah, I feel your pain. I'm trying to move my game engine over to stage3D for mobile stuff, and learning about shaders and vertex buffers can make a guy feel like that BBT video. Especially when google refuses to give a good tutorial. I know there's Starling, but damn it, I want to be a real programmer! XD
