WOAH! you’re trying to make a platform shooter for your first game… you must be really ambitious… good luck.
My first game was a 1st person shooter… I’d upload it but I don’t know how and even if I did… it’s… kinda big… I’d have to strip it of all its music and that extra stuff…
But if you need any help on certain flash concepts than I’d be glad to help…
If you have AIM contact me at “Japan is evil” (Yes… that IS my screenname).

I agree. Hey Zach, you may want to start out with something easier. I started out with making an RPG, but I had _hardly_ the right knowledge. a pong game might be a good place to start.
