I am a new actionscripter writing a game for my first university programming project. I have been busy reading away and have gained some basic skills in actionscript.
My game project is probably best described as 1/3 Pong, 1/3 Breakout and 1/3 Pinball. I’ve included the files so far, which should give you some idea what level I have reached.
So far ‘Flash Game Programming for Dummies’ has introduced me to actionscript and the basics, and I have managed to scrape together working Pong clone, but I have reached the limits of the book and don’t quite know where to turn, so a friend over at GameDev.Net recommended the Kirupa community
Are you something of an expert in the field of Flash game programming? Do you have just a little bit of time free to answer some emails/private messages in the next two weeks? To look at my code and point out the error of a newbie’s ways?
The good news is, I am a fast study, and keen to listen and to learn. I don’t want you to do everything for me, rather to reach back to the time you were new to flash, and take a newbie by the hand and lead him to the next level. I have a basic understanding of the early principles of Flash, so hopefully it will be fairly easy to teach me the next few steps.
If you fit the bill, and can give just a bit of your time in the next two or three weeks to bring another little programmer into the world, please let me know. I promise that I will take your teachings and write games to make you proud
