Well, I've been doing actionscript lately, its easy as pie. Or cake. Or even both! So what have I been doing in flash? Well, for a final grade, I have to make a playable game in flash. Meaning I could do Asteroids for an easy 100 - but do I want to sit there and make an Asteroids clone like everybody else?
So far, I've looked at what everybody else is making. Guess what - I've found Space Invaders, Asteroids, Lunar Defender, all those good old Atari favorites. Nobody is making anything complex.Except me.What am I making? I am making a wonderful, awesome, beautiful platformer/shooter, with an (hope to be) awesome node-based AI. So far, I've got a movement system up, as well as shooting. Nothing uber-fancy yet, but remember, I'm having to do everything myself, including the collisions (which are the default hittest right now) and a move_contact mimic. Not really all that difficult for me, but everyone else in the class wouldn't even begin to approach a platformer/shooter.Remember, in Flash, you have to write all your methods by yourself - no built-in functions or variables like move_contact, or view_xview, or stuff - forget about move_potential_paths…So, I present to you a V0.1 demo, with absolutely nothing to do, except run around the screen and shoot.<b>zomg</b> If my name is something other than DesertFox, it won't load, cause it'll change the file location but not the link<b>For all you who it don't work for:</b> http://64digits.com/users/DesertFox/master.swf - right-click, save as<b>edit</b> Kenon fuxxed my file manager so nothing works =/<p align=center><object width="512" height="384"><param name="flashapp" value="http://64digits.com/users/DesertFox/master.swf"><embed src="http://64digits.com/users/DesertFox/master.swf" width="512" height="384"></embed></object></align>
wow..l how did you get your game to be played right off the website? and it's pretty cool how smooth he move, but his gun needs to flip..
and im using internet explorer and it works just fineI like it when the bullets fly out of the frame, it looks cool. That is, when you play in a separate window. :P
It was funny, in our business scripting class (10th grade atm, wtfux) our teacher let us program with any language we desired, to make a game of any sort, just no blood. Unfortunately there were no bright ones in our class so they attempted to use Flash to make those simple types of games you mentioned. I saw at least a dozen asteroids clones.So I brought in Kairuga.*Teacher's jaw drops**Student's jaw drops*"OMFG OMFG LET ME PLAY""Wat u make it in yo?""GIMME THAT DAMN GAME NAO""Lol you stupid liar, you didn't make this""You son of a three legged dog, such a n00b, I could make better"No, my game is average on GM level, really. Doesn't seem like it to the amateur world though. But having prior game making experience is pretty cool, don't you think? Makes you look spiffy :PLOL!
If it dosen't play when you click it just right click and press "Play". Also when I started playing the character and his hands came out but another pair of hands also came out.Pretty dank DF!
I want to embed on my page 2. I want more control of my page even if no one reads it or give a dam about what I say or post.
Works fine for me. I hope you own the competition. Me, I'm too dumb/lazy to learn Flash stuff.
I'm using Firefox, but the screen is just blank… A white screen in a black box… WTF?
K, it worked after I commented… WTF? And I can't shoot or do anything >_>
EDIT:Oh, space shoots… >_> It would be nice if the mouse shot though =PHeh. Good job. I like it. :)
