Developing a Flash game from scratch - part 2
Small improvement all round to the ActionScript and different graphics this time. Again nothing special but testing the possible theme for the game.
Changes to the game include:
- Slowed down the pointer so that aiming is easier
- Aimer is only visible and working when the ball is not in motion
- Feedback to show previous shot power and angle
- Objects to get in the way. The ball will bounce off walls and blocks
- A “home” area that ends what will be the level
- Size of game area increased to 650px x 500px
All in all, it’s starting to look like a game. We’ve got an objective (get home) and things that get in the way to make it more difficult.
If you find the games run slowly on the Wordpress index of category pages it might be because there’s more than one flash instance running on the page. Try opening the specific post and playing the game from there.
