This past week we have been working on a platform game. Our teacher pulled up an online tutorial that helped us make our platform game. The teacher on the tutorial was very swift with helping us and did us all a favor. Even though he was great help almost everyone had problems with the coding.
However the platform game did help me a lot with understanding coding and the difficulty of getting all things exactly right. We all listened carefully and typed the coding that was being presented and if you listened it gave you a better view on coding.
Another thing that the platform game helped with is ideas for our game. The whole platform animation seems like a great thing that could be inserted in our game. We have a four level game and it would be really neat to have at least one of our levels with the platform theme. I think that it would really help our game out in many ways.
Also, this gave me a few ideas as to what to do with the design of our game. With making enemies, people, and dead zones I got to experiment with game design. With a little work you can make amazing designs with Flash.
Altogether, this whole assignment really furthered my education in Flash and gave me a better understanding of a lot of things. This is really going to help us with our game. I am actually excited to be able to use this in our game!
