progressing in prooogramming

i have been working all day with programming my character and I have progressed a lot.

I used some toturials and learned a bit from all of them. It took a while before i found out how to do it, but I some how managet to find some kind of system in the programming.

The character only has one movement, but i will add the rest of the movements as soon as i figure out how.

you can find my Sprite and my flashgame here --> http://haug.deviantart.com/

Case 3: Programming

This is what we all have been waiting for. The programming! sounds scary.
we are supposed to make our character move to the right and left by using programming in ActionScript 3 in Flash. I have never tried programming before, so i'm horrified, but at the same time looking forward to learning it.

Case 2 - Animation

Yesterday we got this weeks case. This week we are going to animate our main character running, walking etc. I started by giving my character a small makeover. basically by removing the black outer lines, adding some shadow and giving him a brand new pair of feet.

I also finished animating the character walking while he is tired, and running with a coffein shock. I used bone tool for the first time, and after of a lot of frustration the character took his first steps. You better like the result!

crappy quality!




The main character in better quality

The beginning of a epic adventure

Case 1 was to make a blog (done) and make the main character for the game in flash, ready for animation. I desided to make the character as easy as possible because that will make it a looot easier when I get to the point where i start animating. I've tried to make characters in flash before, with fancy details and way too many layers with all kind of junk. Ofcource when you are going to try to animate the masterpiece it makes you want to tear you head of! it just doesnt work, at least not in my case. maybe its just me.
So after a lot of thinking and empty coffeecups i came up with a idea for my game, or at least a part of it. I am going to make a game about getting out of bed in the morning and getting to school before the doors closes. of course you will have to gather a lot of coffee to stay awake on this dangerous journey too school. And for gods sake, stay away from the tempting pillows.

This is as far as i have gotten. i'm done with the main character. (i think) Stay updated!

Greetings

In this fabelous blog i'm going to write about the making of a simple platform game i Flash. This is a school project so we get one case every week that we have to complete before monday. i havent got much experience with programing, so it should be interesting. I will probably blog a few times a week, depending on if i have anything awsome that i just have to post for everybody to see.
