I want to write a flash game
I’ve always wanted to write a flash game. It’s been so intimidating not just the having to learn flash but the how do I make a fun and addictive game. Well the first hurdle I think I’ve gotten over. Recently I’ve had to opportunity to learn flex. It’s kind of like flash, well at least I know actionscript 3 fairly well. So l sat down last week and started playing around with things and let me say all the shit I talked about flash I take it back it’s pretty damn fun to program, like python there is a whole world of things you can do with it. I’ve made some fun little things with papervsion3d which in itself is just freaking amazing so more on that later. After playing with it[papervision] really got to wanting to build a sudo 3Dish flash game, I quickly learned that papervision was probably overkill for what the simple thing I want to do so instead I’ve decided to go with a simple Isometric view game based on sprites. I have no artistic ability. I did get my friend to do some artwork so I can thank him for the grass, dirt and little hut, but until I con someone into doing a whole lot of art for free I went with some free isometric sprites I found here.
So after roughly two days of fleshing out an isometric view type thing I’ve got this.
Click on the flash app then use the arrow keys to move the little dude around. I’m still very far from a game but this is a great start.
