Flash Game Design - Getting Ideas

Just my two cents on the matter. It's on my blog, which has pretty much nothing else on it. I thought you all might be able to tell me what you think.

My mistake... I thought this was a Flash forum.

The first engine is better. Also, when you go in reverse, the turning should be reversed from what you currently have.

Sooooo unoriginal. Does the world really need another mouse avoider game?

sigh

I'm using beginFill();, however that doesn't fill stuff in, it makes it so when you draw it gets filled in straight away, which is not the desired effect. Does anyone know how?

I don't think you can make a 'paint bucket' tool. The best you could do is giving the user a checkbox so that, before they draw, they can decide if it gets filled in.

New to Flash? Read this first!

Coming soon...

If that didn't work...

Define the sound as an AS variable, and have it called in the beginning as an infinite loop?

The audio quality isn't too great...

Those graphics are nice. I might be able to help you out. I'll PM you, and we can work from there. Sounds good?

Well I totally read that.

You should have enemies spawn on intervals, decreasing in length, and have their health and strength increase every interval as well. Eventually you would be fighting 5,6,7 kids at a time.

Do you mean that you would BUY games? Or sponsor them? Or what?

You didn't make a mistake. it was just blammed.

It's like sidescrolling GTA? With a turtle? 0.o

BLAM

If you saw this in the portal, what would you vote? And what is the point of making the pretty NG preloader look ugly by changing the colors?

So your idea is that it's a 2d sidescroller where you are this weird turtle guy? And you go around... doing turtle stuff?? Moar info please.

Why are you saying "-= -5" instead of just "+=5"?

Or you both just copied the same tutorial...

It's basically the same as the Missile Game 3D. All you need is to have flash player draw dynamic lines from the corners of the corridor at the correct angle, depending on your rotation.

I was too overwhelmed by the sheer blue-ness of the oil to properly see the rest of the movie. Sorry.

Here is the AS: Main tutorial.
AS: Rotation to Face Ground

It's reallly buggy. Try to work on that before you start making it a real game.

It really isn't that hard to make flash find the byte loaded, bytes total, etc. All you need is

_root.getBytesLoaded();

I wasn't actually targeting a specific part. I was just combining what I had seen from a lot of the other parts. I guess that does sound like ikools... oops. However, I don't see what the problem is with random fbf. If I had words in my part, then obviously I would need somebody or something singing them. But since the music at that part of the song is just interpretive, the animation should be interpretive. What else would I put there? Somebody dancing? Somebody jerking something out?

has really nothng to do with it

There aren't even any words in my part. And besides, it looks better than some other peoples, with some shitty tweened guy moving around and some lame lip-syncing with the words "JERK IT OUT" randomly flashing in the background.

Don't go with that guy, FrozenSheep. He's just gonna pull some code from some tutorials the same way you did. I like your drawing style, but am at the moment too busy.

Okay, my part is done. In fact, it was done a while ago. But I'll give you the link again:
Part 10

I'll join. I'm an actionscripter, but unless someone shows me some slick artwork I'll probably work alone. Anyone have any ideas?
