It’s been a bit since my first adventure, and I’ve made no progress. I’m still using Michael James William’s tutorial for my guide and it’s actually helping.
At the moment, I’ve completely ditched the enemies for the time being and am just going to work on getting the player working. The sad thing is, this is probably exceedingly easy for someone used to Flash and Actionscript 3, but I’m struggling quite a bit.
Anyway, my current progress is a simple blue guy that’s SUPPOSED to always aim at your mouse. Note the supposed, because it doesn’t work. Actually, it kind of works to an extent…for the first 45 degrees or so =/
So I bought flash CS5 to attempt to learn actionscript 3 and create some games. Sound great, except I don’t exactly know what to do.
Upon some googling I stumbled upon Michael James William’s blog where he wrote a wonderful tutorial on how to make a basic avoider game. This has been my starting point and I haven’t actually finished it, but I’m trying to make something on my own using his tutorial as a help manual.
So my game was supposed to be a Zombie Survival game! (original, I know) So I got started by making a zombie and a player, and then tried to make the zombie follow said player around the little whitespace. That sounds way easier than it apparently is.
The result isn’t quite what I want, but it’s getting there!
