The Simplest Game

BrendanM · 07-17-2001, 02:50 PM

I'm fairly good with Flash 4, but when it comes to "logic" I'm a total simpleton... I don't know the first thing about scripts or variables or any of that fancy stuff. I'm interested in making a game in Flash, and I know that it's possible to create simple games just using the Actions and layers and scenes and stuff without writing a line of code... right? Where could I find some tutorials or beginner's reading on this?

Thanx - B

even the simplest games require knowledge of variables, set and get property, and the like. Read the first 4 beginner level tutorials here before you do anything else.

flashKit has a set of like, 4 tuts i think it is, that will guide you in making your first game. i did them, they're realy good at getting you to open you posibilities. they didn't realy teach me anything new, per say, but just stuff i coulden't hink of.
