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)!
