Reviews for Platform Tutorial AS2

[let1gre]

I'd love to see

Hey! I'm pretty new to Flash and AS2 and this seems like a great tutorial, but I'm having some trouble getting it to work right. Do you have your source code available for viewing anywhere? Thanks!!

Kwing responds:

Everything is in the tutorial. If you can't figure out how it works, practice more. You can't coast off of someone else's work.

this

is THE BEST platform tutorial I have ever found. It covers everything you need in a platform game, well exept for enemies coints and V-cam. But that you can find elsewere.(I hope elsewere is a word :D) anyway:
Practicabillity:10/10
The look :D : 6/10
Overall : 9/10
Score:25/30
Score:8/10
BUT VOTED 5 ;D

Kwing responds:

Thanks! Traditional platform games are kind of boring for me, and I want to make something that really ROARS! So if I ever make a real game out of this it'll probably be an action RPG. Actually, the Umbrella Shop in Arr Pea Gee uses the same engine as this tutorial.

good, but...

Overall nice tutorial, but you should really reconsider making the background a lighter shade of green. I could barely read the text.
But, overall:
9/10
4.5/5

Kwing responds:

Alright, thanks! It was easy for me, maybe some people have low contrast monitors.

no.

THIS WONT WORK!!!!! unless in the script when you say " put it to the right" I'm doing something wrong( I dont get it that much, i just put it beside the last thing of the last line is that wrong? )

Kwing responds:

I'm not sure I follow you. Are you even putting it on a Movie Clip or the frame? Which script? There should probably be an error if you're putting it on the wrong part. Based on what Flash tells you about those you should be able to fix it.

Hmmmm...

The tutorial is perfect. One thing for me is, I would like it so that when it hits a movieclip, if it is attacking when it hits it the movieclip gets deleted, and if the player isn't attacking then the player takes damage. With a health bar already in place, how would you achieve this?

Thanks :)

Kwing responds:

Well I already explained the unloadMovie script. I have a tutorial called Real-Time Battles that explains health and that kind of stuff. As for only if the player isn't attacking, you could just use:
if(attacking==false){
or something of the sort.
