Adding Sound

I plan to use lots of sound effects in my game. There will be all kinds of zaps, bangs, booms, zooms, zips, oh I could go on forever with the possibilities! It can really effect gameplay. It can also effect impression. It will make it seem like the player is really in the game!

Adding Input II: Mouse

This is a flash game that shows drag and drop, collision detection, and sound. It relates to my topic is the fact that my game will have drag & drop, collision detection, and sound too.

Adding Animation

The moving animation of my game title is not just an ordinary gif, it is personalized just for my game title. Go to flamingtext or cooltext to find out more about personalized gif generators.

Adding Buttons

A very helpful resource is wikipedia.  It is like a convienient encycopedia, and it has tons of information because ANYONE can add what they know to this amazing, giant encyclopedia! What more information can you ask for? Anything, from the presidents of the U.S. to Jason Derulo to Armadillos to global warming- its all there! Here is a link to learning!

Adding Scenes

Our game has a LOT of dialogue and conversation between the characters. Me and Bryce designed a storyline which will be used in the game through text boxes. Lots of adventure games seem to have a storyline or something. But of course, if you're going to do this 'great adventure' you gotta know why, right? It only makes sense that a game has a storyline to make it clear what your mission is. Are you just gonna race cars in a game? Or are you gonna take on the life of a fictional hero and compete in the race-a-rama 5000? Which one makes more sense? Exactly. Creating a sense of 'why' helps players really jump into the game!

Drawing a Scene

A new idea that we learned about is movie clips. It is possible to simply upload a seperate animation onto flash without consuming a bunch of frames. This is especially useful with GIF's. I figured this out during the proccess of making a loading screen. I thought our game might look cooler with an animated loading bar before going on to te title screen. That's when I learned that I could simply upload a gif loading bar, and tell flash to stop after the first few loops of the loading bar. How simple! And it only took 1 frame! In fact, a specially made graphics generator provided me with info on GIF's on their home page! Thanks, cooltext.com and flamingtext.com! This is especially informative and trustworthy because they are simple, fast, easy, free, and devoted websites.
