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?

demonstrations

I ended up getting some inspiration after viewing somebodies portfolio website, and decided to use what I found to, hopefully, better future visitors experiences.

For the games/applications that I developed, I decided to capture a demonstration of going through the gameplay/application, and then I uploaded it up onto YouTube. So you don’t have to mingle your way through my development page, here is a glimpse of what I did. This was more of a pain then I thought it was, so I do hope that you find them semi-interesting to watch! ;)

This should definitely be nice for those that can’t actually download onto the computer that they are using, or if they are curious to see it in action, but don’t really want to take the time to download.
