I decided that I am going to do my presentations from now on in Flash instead of Powerpoint. While I was looking around trying to figure out how to do this, I found a great Flash game/animation. This is far better than those ones with the bouncing around heads and singing in other languages, but it's good in a totally different way...

How hard will it be for you to do greek letters, math symbols and inference rules in Flash? If you make a latexflash tool (like Georege Necula's texpoint) then it would be tempting for me to go and learn flash.

This will probably soon translate into the first untitled.gif animated shorts. Hooray for learning_process-propelled flash cartoons!

Jeff: It's about as easy as it is in Powerpoint without texpoint.
Fortunately, my presentation didn't need much greek.

Farina: Perhaps!

Keith: Yes!

That game reminded me of Manhole by Cyan, on account of its surreality and its monochromaticity.

Another weird Flash gamelike thingy:

Yeah, I remember Manhole, though I never got to play it...
