Flixel ‘game engine’

flixel is a completely free collection of Actionscript 3 files that helps organize, automate, and optimize Flash games; an object-oriented framework that lets anyone create original and complex games with thousands of objects on screen in just a few hours, without using any of the Flash libraries.

Looks pretty impressive and very interesting!

Fontmanager for Windows

I’ve been on the lookout for a font manager for Windows for a while now and haven’t been able to find anything yet.
I also don’t want to install a billion fonts as this slows your machine down significantly.
A colleague sent me this article on “What slows Windows down?” and it contained the solution to my quest above.

If you need a font for something, you only need to open it in the Windows font browser and it should become available in your application until you close the font browser. Installing and forgetting about fonts is a very easy way to slowly degenerate your boot times.

Now this might not work if you use a lot of fonts all the time, but for me it seems like the perfect solution.
