I’m sorry to inform you all, but now that the year has come to a close this site will no longer be updated with our latest studies on Flash Gaming, since we are moving on to other projects in class next year, and I myself am no longer going to be in the class. I hope you can continue your studies and make much more progress with the tools we’ve given you, as well as with your imaginations. This site will remain up until I put all of the information on another more permanent site for archiving (Probably about 6 months since I have several other things to do in the mean time).
Always striving,
-Chris

The first actionscript tutorial can be found here:

http://gmhscompsci.wikispaces.com/space/showimage/Game+Lesson+1.doc

The tutorial is to make a math trivia game using only actionscript and flash’s built in graphics manipulation software.

We would be happy to get feedback on the quality of the tutorial.

Ok, so we are so close to finishing the tutorial, if I had another half an hour I’d do it today, but I’ve only got five minutes. It WILL be up on Monday. Thanks all for your comments, we take everything with the upmost respect.

Now that we are done with our game it seems progress has come to a halt or at least a small standstill. We are trying to write a tutorial/lesson for other people to try and make a similar game to ours. The only problem with that is that our work was sparatic along with frustraiting. We did a switching things around. In which writinig a lesson takes some time. So in the meantime please be patient while we make our lesson. Also we will be trying to produce the game to our website here soon. Thanks

 Alright, we are about halfway done with our game right about now. We are currently running into some probelms. This is going to be a massive coding project. Meaning that we are having to do/ write a lot of code to make the game do something little. As for now, we are gonna keep working on those kinks and hopefully will have the game running without error in about a week or hopefully sooner.

Alright so now we have figured out what our first game is gonna be. It’s gonna be a math-based, multiple choice, right or wrong game. So basically who wants to be a millionaire without all the fancy stuff and being for young math students.
.

If you think you know somewhere that might help put in all that fancy stuff, please feel free to leave a comment telling us.
Thanks,

Alright so it has been a week or so and we still are learning how to make flash games. Something that we both learned is that making flash games requires a bunch of code and also is quite difficult. Now along the way we have also come accross some problems. One of them being that we can’t find a whole lot of tutorials or games for that matter to go off of. There are a couple of our sources out there that have helped us out and currently we are using a site called actionscript.org that has helped quite a bit. We are currently working on making a simple game/program. It should get pretty interesting being the first one that either my partner Chris or I have ever worked on. We are getting close to finishing the game and there will be tutorials to come. If any of you have any tips or sites that you think will help us then please post a comment. Thanks

Hey there, So right now we have some code that we’re working with, just to give us a basic understanding. Once we’re done with that, we’ll create a tutorial and get that material out to you guys. If you guys want to know what we’re up to, here’s a link to what the tutorial WE are reading. Any comments are greatly appreciated!

Chris

This week probably we will be updating on our progress on our school project about flash games. If any of you have any ideas about the best way to learn how to make flash games or know about a good site to teach us then please let us know thanks.

Hello! I’m Chris, and I’m teaming up with J on this project! We’ve decided to investigate Flash Games, and give you helps and tutorials as we learn about it too!

We chose flash games (over the other sections) because we’ve already done a bit of Flash Animation, we happen to have flash on our computers, and we are interested in games, so this is the best (educational) combination.

Anyone who uses flash, or is planning on using flash should check these materials (that we provide) out because of the educational value these tools present.

Personally, I’m in this to learn how to make a good, developed, mildly-complex flash game. I’ve played hundreds of them, and I want to now learn to make them (the way I am with just about everything).

Our goals (as set by our professor) are to learn our tool, get proficient with our tool, create some tutorials for our tool, and blog about it all.

Like I’ve said, we’ve already done many tutorials, and have gotten proficient with the Adobe - Flash program, and now we’re diving into Games, so some of the material may be covered in a manner which can only be understood with an individual with pre-existing flash knowledge and experience.

We’ve found many tutorials on Flash, and Flash Animation, but there are very few resources on Flash Animation that would be deemed “reliable sources of information,” so for the most part we’ll be going off of what we learn first-hand.

Since this is our first post, we don’t have any real information on Flash Games, but that’s in part because we’re still getting used to all of the controls, and have yet to start making games (as soon as we do, we’ll start on our tutorials).

One more thing, here’s a great recource by tutorialized.com for Flash Game Tutorials (for those of you who wish to get a jump start).

Have a nice weekend and next week as well (we’re on Spring Break)!

 We are gonna be posting a little more often here soon. We are just getting situated. Thanks for your support and tell all your freinds.
