Create Flash training videos for free

by Victor Agreda, Jr. Aug 17th 2005

Flash is wonderful, Flash is good, not everyone uses it, but everyone should. And if you can't afford Flash I found a little app that lets you create presentations that turn into those nifty little SWF's. It's called Wink, by the good folks over at DebugMode. I've seen it used on several sites to demonstrate software. Not only does it grab screenshots (complete with cursor movement), you can also add simple buttons, textboxes, and titles. Just the thing for simple training videos. Did I mention it's Windows and Linux compatible?

This is such a great tool - I use it all the time. It's very easy to use and has pretty much everything you need...and best of all - it's free!

Downloaded it when I was not on the corporate server. Scanned it and it appears to be clean. My apologies.

Even Camstudio is a good option and it's free as well.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
