So I finally found a flash tutorial that explained how the object stuff works and how it relates to MovieClips within the interface, so I can step back and design my game a bit better. I’m at that stage in development where it’s kind of daunting to have to redo what I’ve already done though, [...]
A few hours of programming later, and I’ve solved a few problems and hit a few more.
Firstly, I solved the problem of the ghost turret catching the clicks by doing something similar to what I proposed earlier: I created a blank GameArea symbol, and placed it’s depth higher than the ghost turret’s depth via Actionscript. [...]
I’ve started playing around with Flash to try to develop a game idea I’ve had for a while, it’s a Tower Defense type of game (groan, I know, bandwagon) but I’ve got a few different ideas up my sleeve so we’ll see how it goes.
Dad convinced me that I should start blogging my experiences as [...]
…and it’s made it a lot harder to get out of bed in the mornings. I’ve still been managing to do a bit of work on all my projects though, despite all the games I have to play and comics I have to read and TV shows I have to watch. I’d be able to [...]
So, Guitar Hero II comes out for 360 in 6 days, us Aussies get it slightly before the US so I’m hoping I can get a headstart and get my name to the top of the leaderboards, before all the USians get online and smash my scores.
I was thinking though, will XNA let us use [...]
Just noting down an idea I got whilst hanging out with friends last night for a possible remake - Alley Cat! It would be awesome to see an updated version of this game with nicely animated graphics and maybe some new gameplay ideas.
I don’t think this is something I’ll be doing any time soon, as [...]
Damn, it’s hot. Summer sucks, bring on Winter!
Microsoft have finally announced some details on their Dream Build Play contest, though details of the full contest are still elusive. They are doing a warm up challenge called ‘Relatives Of Space War’, where you have to use either code or assets from the Spacewar Starter Kit and [...]
Hey, I got reviewed! Thanks Daniel for the kind words, though calling Sopwith my sophomore effort is a bit much, seeing as Kurodust Fighter barely got off the ground, heh. I am still planning on releasing the source code sometime in the future, so maybe I’ll get that extra star
I’ve been working on my [...]
It’s been such a buzz having people actually playing my game! I’ve had a lot of positive feedback, which is fantastic, so I’m glad people are enjoying it. I’ve had a couple of requests for the source code so I’ll consider releasing it, though I need to figure out what sort of license I should [...]
Wow, I wasn’t expecting to have a release ready tonight, but I pushed through and I’m pretty happy with what I’ve got. There’s only one map and there are still a few small things I was going to try to implement, but I’m impatient to get something out there so I’m calling this the 0.9 [...]
