After yesterday’s experimentation with Adobe Flex to build open source games on Ubuntu, I thought: obviously the next step is to make it really easy to package those games up. This is what Quickly is for, and Quickly is capable of having “templates”: ways of setting up new types of projects.

So, after a little bit of hacking, and some help from Didier Roche, I can now do this:

aquarius @giles : $ wget http : // adamatomic . com / mode / Mode . swf --2011-01-03 17:38:54-- http://adamatomic.com/mode/Mode.swf Saving to : ` Mode . swf ' 2011-01-03 17:38:56 (201 KB/s) - `Mode.swf' saved [ 350603/350603 ] aquarius @giles : $ quickly create flash - game mode - by - adamatomic Mode . swf Creating project directory mode - by - adamatomic Creating bzr repository and commiting Launching your newly created project ! Congratulations , your new project is set up ! cd / home / aquarius / mode - by - adamatomic / to edit the details . aquarius @giles : $ cd mode - by - adamatomic / aquarius @giles : $ quickly package ....... Ubuntu packaging created in debian / ........................................ Ubuntu package has been successfully created in .. / mode - by - adamatomic_0 .1 _all . deb

Hooray; package up a Flash game and make it available to Ubuntu users in two commands. Quickly really is great.
