[size=3][font=Times New Roman]I’ve been creating a game with Flash MX (The first version) but never got it finished. I now think of upgrading before continuing with the game and would like tips of websites and/or books that can be useful for what I’m making:<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = “urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office” /><o:p></o:p>[/font][/size]
<o:p></o:p>
[size=3][font=Times New Roman]- Pixel graphics, as fast as possible<o:p></o:p>[/font][/size]
[size=3][font=Times New Roman]- Probably in a small window to get maximum frame rate<o:p></o:p>[/font][/size]
[size=3][font=Times New Roman]- Key-control, 2 players, where tapping keys at specific moments<o:p></o:p>[/font][/size]
<o:p></o:p>
[size=3][font=Times New Roman]What hindered me from continuing was that I got irritated because the game got slow and “lagged” on slower computers.<o:p></o:p>[/font][/size]
<o:p></o:p>
[size=3][font=Times New Roman]I’m thinking of doing some kind of “speed check” to make sure the game runs at a minimum frame rate. Cause it would be possible to cheat if the game runs very slow, due to the idea of pushing a key at specific moments.<o:p></o:p>[/font][/size]
<o:p></o:p>
[size=3][font=Times New Roman]I wonder if it’s possible to use “palettes” for objects in flash. Like if I design a character with red shorts and blue shirt, I want to use the same object for another player with different colored clothes, skin, hair etc. Any ideas on this?<o:p></o:p>[/font][/size]
<o:p></o:p>
[size=3][font=Times New Roman]What software is good for animating pixel graphics? Way back I used Deluxe Paint on Amiga, which had good animation tools, but I haven’t seen anything like it on Windows.<o:p></o:p>[/font][/size]
<o:p></o:p>
[size=3][font=Times New Roman]All tips of optimizing to make a good pixel-game, and also links to other games which use similar graphics is appreciated. I’ll check the arcade soon!<o:p></o:p>[/font][/size]
<o:p></o:p>
[size=3][font=Times New Roman]Kind of blurry question, I hope someone could answer some of my worries! :)<o:p></o:p>[/font][/size]
<o:p></o:p>
[size=3][font=Times New Roman]Thanks in advance!<o:p></o:p>[/font][/size]
