A new project, my explanation.

You may have wondered why I seemingly randomly have posted some information about Action Script 3.0, and a flash game review. This is because for my next college project I will be creating a drag and drop style game.

The reason that I feel this is such a significant project and requires some explanation is because I will be working in Flash Action Script 3.0, which I have not done before. Our media class has had a couple of lessons in 3.0, learning the basic functions of a drag and drop game, I will need other features than this though. I will be learning this myself. The other features will probably include tweens, some 'move to position' type code, scoring and a timer. I think most of this will just be working off of variables of which we have learnt about. A few online tutorials should help, and I'll be on my way with the game.

I have been reviewing games because I'm in the process of researching other existing online games in order to see what works well and what doesn't basically. This means that I can then include good features from many games to try and include in my own (obviously not directly as this would be in violation of copyright, and plus I want my own idea and design). I am probably going to be aiming for a demographic age group of 12-18 year olds.

So this is just a quick overview of what I have been/will be doing currently. I'll keep updating this blog frequently...
