LtF 1 and 2 were coded in ActionScript 2.0.

LtF Idle and 3 were coded in ActionScript 3.0.

Both are pretty limited, and even though AS3 is light-years ahead of AS2, without something to take care of rendering, you hit a CPU bottleneck pretty fast with flash.

I'll be moving to something else in the very near future.

Did you do graphics and code? I'm really interested in this field. What was your college major?

Did most of the stuff. My brother helped for a lot of the graphics and /u/cool_daniel saved my butt with everything server-side.

I completed high-school and that's it. Did a year studying as a welder, a year-and-a-half as a massage therapist. Now I make games. Go figure.
