My First Flash Game

After learning some of the basics of ActionScript in class last Friday, I was compelled to get Adobe Flash at home so I could play with ActionScript coding and learn all I could. This is my first flash game created in ActionScript 2.0, using the template provided and the skills I had learned so far (which isn't much). Hope you enjoy

Xbox 360: Bioshock2 and Dante's Inferno

I finally got my xbox returned to Gamestop and received a new one, but the one they game me only has standard definition cables. So now I have to make my way back there sometime to trade cables, b/c it makes no sense to have a HDTV and play Xbox 360 in standard def. While I was there I picked up Dante's Inferno and Bioshock 2, both excellent games. I haven't played much of Bioshock 2 yet, but from what I've seen, it's pretty much like the first (minus the fact that you're a big daddy, so your melee weapon is your drill hand).
I played Dante's Inferno for a few hours the other night, and I was very impressed. The game is very much like God of War, as far as being an action adventure with upgradable weapons, magic, and attacks. In Dante's Inferno you play Dante who has a run in with death and beats his ass with his own Reaper. When you get back home, you find your wife dead and her soul is taken to hell right in front of your eyes. So you travel to hell and fight your way through hells forces and through the many circles of hell. So far this game is excellent. I can't wait to see what's in store for Dante. If your a gamer like me and you like games like God of War, then you will definitely like Dante's Inferno.

Social Issues

Below is a list of social issues and how they affect my community:

Health - Health is a big problem not only in my community but in the US in general. People are constantly eating fast food and whatever is convenient for them instead of what is healthy.

Education - The education in my community is probably just average. When compared to other countries the education around here is very minimal and schools become easier and easier as time goes on.

Environment - The environment is at an all time low. The way we have treated the environment over the last century or so is pathetic. We constantly only think about ourselves and what makes our lives more entertaining or more convenient, and never think about what we are doing to the environment.

Brainstorming

I haven't quite decided what I want my game to look like. I have a few ideas that I want to incorporate in the game though. When we go over Flash and exactly what we're going to be able to do with it, I think that will help me pinpoint exactly what I want to do with my game. First of all I think I want to make an Action/Adventure type game. I want to make multiple levels and include multiple pickups of a currency that the user will in turn be able to use later to purchase items and possible weapons. It might be a 2D side scroller...I'm not really quite sure yet. I know the components I want to use but I'm not really sure of the story line I want to go with. I'll do some more brainstorming over this week and try to come up with some more ideas. I'll post any more ideas that I might come up with this week.
