Sounds

The sounds I created were recorded on my Canon EOS 60D, the jet sound was recorded during an airshow when a F/A18 Hornet was flying and the bullet sound was recorded by moving my finger over the vent on my computer. The other sounds are from http://www.kongregate.com/labs. The sounds were imported into the flash game and coding added per the above source's tutotal.

Game idea: Aircraft war

My idea for a game is to have an aircraft war which involves the aircraft your flying has a task of dropping bombs on selected enemy targets but at the same time having enemy flying and firing at you from ahead and behind. As the game goes longer (maybe time or score based) or each level, the game will get harder, by adding clouds, fog and neutral targets which look like enemy targets and enemy aircraft get more advanced or larger with more weapons to shot your aircraft down.

The aircraft, except the enemy, will move however it will back slowly to make it more realistic that it is slowing down and not reversing. The enemy aircraft will only move forward but can move up and down to avoid your gun fire.

The ground and buildings will be moving the fastest and in a loop to make the game play longer and keep the file size of the game down.

I'm hoping by adding the above will make the game fun, while not making it too hard or easy for the player.

Similar game to this is Red Skies.

Game reviews

1. The Amazing Dare-Dozen
The game involves trying to get an egg from one nest to the next, most of which are moving, which would use similar or the same coding as the tutorial we learnt last term. The game is something that people can get hooked in as it is hard but also easy, so you wouldn't get sick of it. The graphics are basic but good however the colour is hard to see on some screens.

2. Hold The Rope
The game involves using the mouse to keep the strength of each of the men holding the road, I assume the game would use some different coding but it could use similar coding. The game is hard and I don't really see the point of it, other then the game ends if you don't keep the strength up on the men.

3. The Truth Is Up There
The game involves using the keyboard and mouse to control the video recorder to tape UFO's which fly on the screen. Zooming in and having the maximum time of the UFO gives you a higher check (which is also your score) however zooming in makes it harder to track the UFO. The coding would using some different and similar coding. The game is hard if you zoom in but easy if zoomed out, making it somewhat addictive.

Driving Game

Using our skills to code a simple flash game using action script 2.
Can you control the car using your keyboard (using the up/down/left/right) without running off the road? See what happens when you press the up/down/left/right on your keyboard and see what happens.
