Global Swarming
John November 28th, 2008
It’s very crude (and short), but here‘s the game I’ve been writing as a way of learning Actionscript. Kongregate.com wrote up some tutorials on how to make Flash games, and then held a contest for games entered based on the tutorials, so that was as good a hook as any to get started learning.
I spent about 11 hours on the game today, programming new features, fixing things and breaking other things, and got super tired of it.
I’ll probably continue working on it in a few days, adding the final boss, more enemies, tweaking the difficulty ramp, etc.
Aaaaand I didn’t add this to the post when I wrote it, probably because I was happy with what I’d accomplished, but it’s a terrible game. Pity the hard drive crashed and I lost the Macromedia suite; it would have been nice to make a mediocre game after the bad one.
