Flash Tutorial: Breakout Game Part 3
Flash Tutorial: Creating a Brick Breaking Paddle Game in Flash: Part 3
Level: This is a beginner lesson, but I will assume that the reader is familiar with the basic use of the Flash software including stage, timeline, drawing tools, property window, etc.
Version: I will be using Flash CS3 and AS2 (athough tut is compatible with earlier versions of Flash) and instructions are for the Mac. Windows users would use the PC counterparts for specific instructions on Flash Menu/Shortcut instuctions.
Description: The third part of a Flash tutorial on making a Flash game similar to the old BreakOut game for Atari. In the first part of our game tutorial, we created the movement for the paddle and the ball. In the second part of the Flash tutorial, we set up the bricks and applied the script for the collisions of the ball with the bricks. In this part of our Flash game tutorial, we will set up the game score using dynamic text.
