UPDATE: Thanks a lot for the frontpage and all the nice reviews! :)

As I checked the Tutorial-genre on Newgrounds for flixel tutorials I noticed there aren't any and only a few on developing ActionScript 3 games. Since I have already developed a few games with flixel and know about its benefits and how great it is to start making games I thought I could try making one myself for the Newgrounds community.

The game shouldn't be too complicated, easy enough so that even someone without any experience on ActionScript could understand it...

The tutorial isn't just boring text, but it's made in an interesting and entertaining way, using cool effects and a tune made by RealFaction, who also helped me with the development aswell as the nice beta-testers. The tutorial is available in 4 versions. One for people with none experience on coding, one for people with experience on other languages than AS3, one for AS3-developers and one for people who have already used flixel. So that everyone gets the information he/she needs. Not more and not less.

Here's the table of content:
*CHAPTER I - Setting up flixel with FlashDevelop
*CHAPTER II - Importing and adding graphics
*CHAPTER III - Creating and adding a tilemap
*CHAPTER IV - Creating and adding a player
*CHAPTER V - Collisions
*CHAPTER VI - Input and movement
*CHAPTER VII - Creating and playing animations
*CHAPTER VIII - Importing and playing sounds and music
*CHAPTER IX - Using the Newgrounds API to create medals and ads
*CHAPTER X - Conclusion and where to go from here

Not only will it show how to use flixel but also the benefits of the Newgrounds API and how to use it with FlashDevelop and how to add medals and ads. The tutorial will be completely free and will lay the fundament for 8bit-gamedevelopment with flixel. People will be able to go anywhere from here and make their retro dreams come true. If it catches enough people's attention there will also be a second part on creating enemies, guns, more levels and other cool stuff or whatever THE PEOPLE DEMAND! ;)

Cheers!

I'm not going to go through all the work of downloading, but this is nice for what it looks like. It's nice to see everything presented in such an understandable manner. I have myself never gotten into this sort of thing. I had no idea Flixel worked like this. I had seen it being featured in some contests, but didn't know much of it. I hope it isn't to games what Go Animate is to cartoons.

It's nice how this has such a pleasant atmosphere to it. I don't know why it showed up on my latest of games when it wasn't made by someone I favorited. The music is really good too. It's always nice to give power to the people. That's authentic of you.

I like how you tried to make this tutorial as easy as possible for anyone who wants to create games and all... and i am new to this, my problem with this was that i didn't understand the instructions that well and i think it wasn't that well specified so for example in the second chapter i didn't know what to replace in which folder and i got stuck there... i don't know how to edit scripts because i'm afraid that i would screw the whole thing... My point is that if someone who reads this comment that understood how to make this work with a video or something to show what to do... i twould be great, so if anybody who would help a newbie like me is there, please send me a message, it would be of great help! :D
