Topic Background
When building a demo for a game idea, usually people follow the same path - writing a game description, adding graphics, animations and some interactions to represent their game idea. BUT when turning a demo into a playable game, people can go many different ways: some prefer to focus on the visual aspect of the game, others prefer to learn more programming, there are those who value the sound effect most and spend a lot of time researching sound effects.
The MyGLife Game Development topics introduce many key Flash skills, but you may find that something you want in your game is missing. The web is full of great resources! Here are suggestions on how to find solutions for your game:
Group Discussion
You can post questions on the Group Discussion to get help from other students and MyGLife.org Flash experts.
MyGLife.org Flash Resources
- Browse the MyGLife.org Flash Tutorials list for more tutorials, information and links!
- Check out the MyGLife.org Flash Resources List for other good resource sites online.
Searching the Web
Use specific keywords to find new resources via popular search engines like these:
- Google Most popular search engine.
- TeacherTube Has lots of Flash tutorials.
- YouTube Has endless amounts of Flash tutorials, but is blocked in most schools.
- Ask.com Another very good search engine.
Ask Online Communities
A good way to get answers is to join an Online Community used by Flash and Game Making professionals. Post a smart and specific question in one of these spots:
- Adobe Flash Developer Center - Adobe's Flash Developer Center: Quick Starts, Samples, Downloads and Community discussions.
- FlashKit - The largest Flash community there is, providing Fla's, tutorial, forums etc'.
- Flashmove - The flash resource developer community for everyone.
- UltraShok - Very cool Flash community, but keep in mind: you need a broadband connection to enjoy it!
