Reviews for Tank Game Tutorial

Nice Try anyway

Hi, I am not going to bash you or anything but this really isn't a very good way to make bullets fire. When you are rotating and your bullet moves with the rotation something is very wrong. You said that you did it this way to prevent the player from firing too many times. This could be handled by adding a delay. Duplicate Movie clip or attaching an instance of the bultet is so easy and yet you used a movie clip. If you were hitting a target would this even be effective? Also it would seem strange for your bullets to bend like they do following the rotation of the turret since they are all connected.

Okay, thanks.

nice

finally a tutorial that talks about more than 'how to make a button' -

Kwing responds:

Can you explain why you gave me a 2?

Terrible

That's the worst way to make a cannon I have ever seen. You should really be using duplicateMovieClip(). You have a movie clip that plays? The tanks moving overall is terrible too. 4 frames for directions? A game with a tank that plays like that would be lucky to pass. Don't write a tutorial without proper knowledge yourself.

Kwing responds:

It's not four frames; I used the _rotation feature.

Additionally, I made it play through a Movie Clip because I didn't want people firing off sheets of bullets; it makes the player indestructible in almost any environment.

And with that 'lucky to pass' and 'don't write a tutorial' guff, that's borderline offensive.
