First flash game attempt ... wot shud it b?

[quddusaliquddus]

What type of game is the best one to attempt for newbies? :rolleyes:

My first game was a target shooting game. Every 2 seconds I have targets appear and score is calculated depending on how close to the middle you hit.

Each target was a movieclip, with lots of buttons within it for each score.

Along the way I learnt quite a few things and the game turned out pretty good.

How do you make a game like that. I have tried but I don't know the actionscript (I am new to actionscript) or how to make a gun shoot with a bullet shown hitting the target. :confused:

If you’r not able to do the kind of basics scripts this kind of game requires, you might want to find a tutorial to follow.

You could also go for a game that is on the same level as your current scripting skills.

Guess a number
Hang Man
Flip a Coin
Etc…

God games require seldom more than a intermediary level of programming skills. It’s the game play idea that makes it great or boring.

i didn't even have bullets, just buttons for each score that changes colour when clicked and are deactivated if the target they're on is clicked once already.
