Game making
in [Flash]

From: CoRuP7ioN on 5 Dec 2005 19:15 Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to make simple 3d games, like runescape.com, but very simple... Or perhaps a nomal platform game, where you can choose which character to use, and it saves the character score and stuff... And like, if you can make it so you level, gain experience etc

Flash does not support native 3D modeling, like, for example, Macromedia Director. But you can certainly import 3D-modeled imagry and use ActionScript to manipulate it. I should point out right now, though, you will rarely see "game" and "simple" in the same sentence. Games are not easy to create. In fact, games are arguably the most difficult application to write, because they combine potentially sophisticated programming with potentially sophisticated graphics, which rely on potentially sophisticated use of basic Flash paradigms such as nested timelines, frame labels, masking, and the like. > Or perhaps a nomal platform game, where you can choose > which character to use, and it saves the character score and > stuff... Sure thing, but get prepared to learn some physics and trigonometry along with your ActionScript. Here's a terrific online resource. Note the author's point that these were written for Flash 5. Flash has changed considerably over the years, but the *concepts* here are still sound. http://www.tonypa.pri.ee/tbw/start.html David stiller (at) quip (dot) net "Luck is the residue of good design."
