Grrr...so I am super frustrated because I basically have to come up with a 2D game idea and then make it by next week and I can't think of a good idea. Story of my life. I have no idea what important, not-cliche, meaningful message I want to send with my game. I will just be happy if it works. But before I can make it work I need to decide what it should be. Ah, stress!

Exercise 3

Ok, so I just finished up with Exercise 3. The three car parts were pretty straight forward, but the tank-shooter thing was a little bit more tricky. I managed to figure out most of the problems and get a working .swf but there is still one section of the code that I don't understand and the projectiles don't always line up quite right. Other than that things seem to be going well. Until next time!

Success!

Whoo Hoo! Moderate success! At least now my character will walk, jump, duck, and kick on command. I still have a few things to iron out, but at least I am moving in the right direction!

Exercise 2

Ok, well to say that I am struggling might be a bit of an understatement. I can't seem to get my movie clips to play correctly when certain keys are pressed. I tried a couple different ways which I thought made perfect sense and would work, but apparently things only go that smoothly in my head. I had some help from a variety of people but still no luck...well very minimal luck. I am gonna take another look during lab time tomorrow and hopefully I will be able to find some small degree of success.
