I must say that the tutorial so far has been extremely informative, it has refreshed my memory of techniques i have long forgotten, as well, i found that what i learned in high school about java programming is very similar to this which helps. All in all though. I do have to say that this is the best tutorial i have found yet about flash game design and i thank you very much for that. Most other tutorials are nice and help establish creating certain effects or functions, but this tutorial has explained exactly what the pieces of code mean so i can understand why we're typing it rather than know that something happens as a result of typing it.</p> <p>.-= Epic428´s last blog: <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/EpicTechWorld/~3/-H-JKK80yDE/school-gone-too-far-spies-on-students-through-webcams" rel="nofollow">School Gone Too Far – Spies on Students Through Webcams</a> =-.</p> hey just wanted to say that i am new to flash but i have played around with programming in general for several years now.

Love the tutorial btw.</p> I had this bug where I couldn’t see anything (might be good to note this in the tutorial),because I named the documentclass avoider.as ..but it needs no extention.

Glad you found this useful. It’s really satisfying to hear that you were able to actually apply things to your own game, rather than just creating a carbon copy.

(Although I did skip ahead to 12 to tidy my garbage) It was very valuable seeing the steps broken down slowly, with changes to fix bugs and gotchas. Just copying the end source code would have taught me nothing. By part 6 I was having too much fun adding my own dynamics to the game so I took a break to spin off that Flash :)</p> Michael – That was only after part 6 of the tutorial ;) I look forward to doing the saving + multiple level tutorials for my next game!
