    ...how easy would it be to imitate that in Java or ActionScript, do you think?

          @zeldatra With the HTML5 canvas element and Javascript, you might be able to make a nice clone.

            @loveydoe HTML5 canvas, huh? Flash CC added that as a programming method. Unfortunately, I despise everything else about Flash CC, so I'm guessing if I did that I wouldn't be able to program it in an object-oriented manner.

              @zeldatra It's possible to code in object-oriented JavaScript if you hate yourself.

              @zeldatra You can operate on the canvas using Javascript, no need for Flash. I believe Javascript supports associative array-based objects.

              @zeldatra Javascript has a prototype-based OOP system that mimics the features of other object systems. You may be interested in the 'Prototype-based' section of Javascript's Wikipedia page.

              @zeldatra # # For me, functional and imperative languages are a simpler way to go for many tasks that are usually set up as object ecosystems in an OOP language. In languages like C, one can often recreate the useful parts of an object system by using tables and function pointers. I think Javascript has some functional aspects as well.
