Hello!

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!

The tutorial itself should be great (still downloading FlashDevelop), but you really should be able to mute the music.

You can, by pressing '0'! :)

Very awesome tutorial! Completely informative while still being cute and lighthearted so I don't feel like I'm reading a boring textbook. I've used GameMaker to design a video game for a class, so I'm excited to give this a try myself someday (as does my boyfriend!).


Schulles responds:

How adorable! :)

why is this only rated three stars?

it had to be downrated exclusively by people who don't care about programming/development/tutorials.

this was lovingly crafted and has perfect polish. it's an obvious 5/5 submission.


Schulles responds:

Well, thanks first of all. I thought exactly the same about the score that dropped about 1 star in the past hours. I am very happy though that there are still people that actually enjoy it and leave such nice comments! :)
