I need to make a game for college.

[VirulentX]

Hey guys,

My AS3 college class requires me to make a game, soon anyways.

Now I'm generally not very good at programming, so I need to think of a cool, efficient yet simple to program game to start working on.

Any ideas?

The conflict in this peice of writing suggests the speakers confusion.

Make something arcade, like pong or breakout.
They're very easy.
Pong is the hardest because it needs AI.
Breakout is just pong without AI and with an array for the blocks.

Make a maze game or something. Those are REALLY simple.

You could always make an animated riddle game. You click on the answer and a little guy jumps on the answer. If he gets it right, you survive, if he gets it wrong, you get punched, tortured or humiliated. Simple enough? I don't think so. It sounds like a large file.

With some creativity you can make games that look like they are complex yet they just use maze game style activity. Making an effective game using such a simple choice of game should show your creativity to the class well. I won't help by telling you what you can do though find out for yourself.

Hehe, apperciate the thought, but it has to be a bit longer than that. :P

Make Crysis the flash version with 100 times longer gameplay and 8000 better graphics.

You will get like an A or something.

I would recommend a platformer. They're not all that difficult to make, and it is easier to add more levels in afterward if you need to expand on it.

How are platformers not difficult to make?
If you're gonna make a platformer, I suggest you look at my AS2 physics sample for gravity stuff (most bad programmers use different/buggy methods for gravity).
It's AS2, but the principles are still the same: http://flashsourcecodes.com/Physics/19/g ravity/
