What language are these games written in?

I think they once said ActionScript, but I can't find that post now....so I could be mistaken about that.

You can't really code an application in actionscript.

I'm betting it was all done in C++ or some variation. But it's just a guess as usually something as big as these games would require a high level language.

[Edit]
For the Mac platform, I see they use some SDL which is cool.

There was a post somewhere (I still can't find it). I don't remember if posters just listed their own ideas or if LDW actually answered.

These games really aren't all that big. The same image files just keep being used on one big background with various target points.

I have a suspicion that I read something in an interview with Arthur linked in the Reviews, Interviews & Awards forum. I tried one interview mentioned but got a 404 so it's probably been deleted.
