I'm no longer certain of my ability to complete this game in flash. I've run into some major obstacles, and even after dedicating an entire night to it, I've got only stumbling points to show for it. The version that I will be showing to our guests is here.

I have completely revamped my front screen and in doing so, started in on the mechanics of character creation. Woo! You can check it out here.

1) Make a data-storing class extend button just so that it can listen for events.
2) Delete. EVERYTHING.
3) Arbitrarily rename things to see if that gets the compiler to shaddap.
4) Redo graphics because flash is picky about what it makes into a symbol.
5) Pull an all-nighter.

If I seem a little less than coherent tomorrow, it's because of sleep deprivation in order to complete assignments for this and other classes. Oh, how we all love the last week of classes...

"Hi, my name is the 1026 error. I will bring your program to a screeching halt and not even tell you where the problem is or what's wrong! Thanks! Lolz!"

Problem?

So I am trying to come up with my user controls for my name.
There are a few options, 1.have a character on the screen, that walks towards where ever you click. 2. a character that always follows your mouse. 3. using arrow keypad.

I am having some difficulties applying action script to movie clips, and after following a tutorial for a few hours, it turns out it doesn't apple because it was in action script 2.

I was going to have my game similar to dinner dash where you have to complete tasks, like dishes, sleep, homework, check mail, email, pay bills, shovel the walkway...

I'm starting to feel good about my game after yesterday's class. So far now I have I think one sequence (which does worry me how I'm going to get 5.... hmmm), and started on the next one. It definitely has gotten to the copy/paste section of design and programming, but that's a huge relief. What I'm doing actually makes sense!!
