Hi all, Just had my cousin over (8th years) and she wants to learn to type blind. As I need to refresh my flash skills (just bought flash 8 skipped on flash mx 2004). I thought it would be a fun project to create a simple typing course and a simple typing game for her. I want to start with a simple typing game, as I must find my old learn-to-type book. For the game: 1 What I had in mind was just some random words scrolling from left to right. 2 Each letter disappears on the right stroke 3 Level is based on the scrolling speed 4 You get 5 healths 5 Level over when it reaches a certain point on the right side 6 Game Over as you have no more healths left. 7 Must do something with a score system Misc. UI elements graphics How would a professional like you structure this game on paper and what would a structured way be to develop this simple game??? Like to reuse the typing part of the game for future games (like falling letters) Where to start Tx in advance
