This just results in every post sounding sarcastic.

Totally depends on if it's your thing, but there's nothing out there quite like the DROD series of puzzle games.

I'm creating a TEXT ADVENTURE game with A SUCKY PARSER and WINDOWS BASIC COLOUR SCHEME. Youck.

I never thought I'd say this, but I LOVE that colour scheme :D You've made it awesome!

I too am in on this!

(... wait)

Ah, you know what? I was actually thinking of The New Zealand Story...

Holy fuck, did you really do the graphics for Pedro and Neverending Story?

Another wonderful SMBC I came across at random:

Oh man that sounds like a flash question

I dunno I just close my eyes and pretend it's C

1) How do you destroy objects? Like, let's say you just killed an enemy. How do you remove that instance of the enemy object from the game?

This little function should help - it removes an object from a given array of objects:

Code:

public function removeObject(obj:Object, arr:Array):void{
  var i:String;
  for (i in arr){
    if (arr[i] == obj){
      arr.splice(i,1)
      break;
    }
  }
}

[a lot]

I like the new graphics a lot.

Looks interesting, jwaap - I love the very tasteful use of outlines and shadows!

Here's something I'm working on at the moment:





I've been working on this thing for almost two weeks now - was supposed to be a half day project...

Looks like there's a new Mini Ludum Dare on Feb 6th!

I haven't actually finished either of the games I started making for Ludum Dares, so I feel the need to come up with something simple and take a serious attempt at this one.

yes

Check the last page of the results thread

(I think people missed it for some reason)

Heh, neat topic.

A little currently untitled flash thing I'm working on:

Code:

public function mainloop(e:Event):void {
  gamerender(key, dwgfx, game, obj, help);
  gameinput(key, dwgfx, game, obj, help);
  gamelogic(key, dwgfx, game, obj, help);

  //Stupid event listeners!
  if (key.hasclicked) key.click = false;
}

Slightly more interesting, here's Pathways:

Code:

int main(){
  srand(time(NULL));
  init();
  graphicsclass graphics;

  changesong(0);
  musicon=true;

  //We start in room 0:
  graphics.loadroom(0);

  fade=255; fademode=FADEIN;
  gamestate=TEXTBOX;
  currentscript=0;

  //Starting main loop:
  while(!killgame){
    //Prelogic

    //Render
    switch(gamestate){
      case GAMEMODE: gamemode_render(graphics); break;
      case TEXTBOX: textbox_render(graphics); break;
      case ENDING: ending_render(graphics); break;
    }
    //Input
    if(key[KEY_ESC]) killgame=true;
    switch(gamestate){
      case GAMEMODE: gamemode_input(graphics); break;
      case TEXTBOX: textbox_input(graphics); break;
      case ENDING: ending_input(graphics); break;
    }
    //Logic
    process_music();
    process_glow();
    process_fade();
    switch(gamestate){
      case GAMEMODE: gamemode_logic(graphics); break;
      case TEXTBOX: textbox_logic(graphics); break;
    }
    if(screenresize){
      screenresize=false;
      if(fullscreen){graphics.change_fullscreen();
      }else{graphics.change_windowed();}
    }
    while(check_timer(framerate)<=0) rest(0);
    reset_timer();
  }

  #ifdef DEBUG
  debugfile.close();
  #endif
  return 0;
}
END_OF_MAIN()

PC Gamer UK have a writeup of the contest in this month's issue! I've scanned it for you - congrats to all the mentioned games!

(click on it for a big version)

This is a wonderful tutorial for getting setup - thanks for helping me get started with FlashDevelop!

I really wish you'd change the title of the thread though, because it makes it look like it was posted by a random passing spambot! "Learn to Code Flash Games using Actionscript 3 and Free Development tools" or something like that would be a lot more fitting...

I use zips for anything I distribute, but I've got one big problem with them - windows generally just treats it like a folder unless you've got something like winzip or winrar installed, and for people who don't know to extract it that usually leads to problems like the application not running or not keeping save games or other issues like that

Nice work JLJac That really strikes a chord with me.
