Computer programming....

Today I was practicing ways to do game programming through my Beginning Flash Game Programming for dummies book. However, I did find it hard to ctach up with the book cause the author is using Flash MX and I am using Flash 8 professional but it is worth reading and is great for anybody who is planning to be a game designer. Well, today I am going to tell you what I learned in chapter 1. ( I am in chapter 3) In chapter 1, the author (Andy Harris) is just telling you about the basics about game programming for example- the author reminds you about the 3 plot elements (A character, A conflict, A goal) and he also tells you to start writing or drawing a plan of the game you are planning to make once you finish the book. I am not going to waste your time now because in the whole of chapter 1 has nothing to do with Flash but after that chapter is a whole lot of assignments and hard-work! ( I will discuss about chapter 2 tomorrow)
