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.
