Getting Started
We have FlashDevelop installed on Lime. If you wish to install it on your own computer, the files are on Junon under \Files\Software\Flash\. FlashDevelop is a very good tool for creating flash applications and is a good alternative to Flash CS5. FlashDevelop creates .swf files by using the open source flex SDK.
Background story
The apples and oranges want to keep each other from taking their profit in the Supermarket. The player can choose which fruit they wish to play with at the start of each game.
