Quick and Dirty: Reaching for Stars

I wanted to keep these tinkering events contained within the blog post, but I made the project 800×600 and it’s dinking everything up if I shrink it. Forgive me.

This is the product of yesterday and today. Just a simple ‘things drop’/catch them game, which sounded easy enough for a first project. I’ll be adding more levels to this, so you’ll get to see it develop into something fun to play. This first level is like any other level. To introduce you to the game, controls, and the idea.

Thanks, Dave, for mentioning that Flash book. I went ahead and ordered it, so I’ll be sure to get some good things out of that. I watched a few tutorials and his way of presenting material is great. For those that don’t know, this is in reference to: “ActionScript 3.0 Game Programming University ($31.99)” Link to Video Tutorials

Anyway, enjoy a tinker, will you?

    Looking good! It’s a good start for not having touched Flash in so long, of which I think we have a common lineage. I touched Flash once or twice way way back in the day, but not since. I’m curious about what kinds of improvements in capabilities its seen over the years, so I’ll keep a close eye on your continued development. :)
