[CoLoCo] Is creating something in flash == programming?

[Kevin Fries]

Scott,

I looked at the code, its generated, or this kid is the next Marilyn Vos
Savant.

The first one was tracking 3D space with boolean values... Now I have
had my fair share of math classes (through Abstract Algebra), and am one
of the few people that qualified for Mensa on multiple tests.  So I
could follow along, but if any 10-12 year old could do this, I really
want to meet this kid.

By the way, what meeting tonight?  I think I missed something.
