Flash++

While working in C++, I found that in order to make a few little things, I would have to type a zillion lines of code. Most of this was the process of creating visuals. Without visuals, programs are reduced to the bare minimum: function only. Sometimes, however, it's nice to have some graphics! Flash, a program written in C++, provided a very flexible process for making visuals as well as an intuitive programming language of it's own (ActionScript). Of course, there are more limitations for this, but the fact of the matter is, I can make a program in Flash that would take years of typing in C++, and technically, I'm still working in C++!!! It would be interesting to figure out how to input and output to ascii files from Flash... being C++ based, it shouldn't be much different (although, as we've discussed, most programming languages are about the same).
