The game skeleton should include: - SHOW HISCORE (from main menu) - GAME PAUSED (from THE GAME) - GAME COMPLETED (from LEVEL PASSED if all the levels have been completed) - GAME OVER screen (after one or more LEVEL FAILED if the game has a classic "N lives" mechanism) - SEND HISCORE (from GAME OVER or GAME COMPLETED) Some of these "states" can perhaps be represented simply by adding dedicated layers with one MC (e.g. a "PAUSE press P to continue" text showed when the game enter the GAME PAUSED state). Thank you for your great site! Vor Hi,
I’m developing my *first* FLASH (8 + AS2) game
(for the next one, I’ll try to switch to CS3 + AS3)

I give you other suggestions (you probably (well) know them). The game skeleton should include:

- SHOW HISCORE (from main menu)

- GAME PAUSED (from THE GAME)

- GAME COMPLETED (from LEVEL PASSED if
all the levels have been completed)

- GAME OVER screen (after one or more
LEVEL FAILED if the game has a classic “N lives”
mechanism)

- SEND HISCORE (from GAME OVER or GAME COMPLETED)

Some of these “states” can perhaps be represented
simply by adding dedicated layers with
one MC (e.g. a “PAUSE press P to continue”
text showed when the game enter the GAME PAUSED state).

Thank you for your great site!

Vor

Haha, have you thought about a multilayer scope for this design? Your over simplification of the process hurts, yet it makes complete sense.

And I noticed your logo on the side of the page - maybe you could include a bit more of the face, and make the grey part transparent.

Clicking through it I instinctively clicked on the wrong link due to its placement. I agree with RJ. Clicking through it I instinctively clicked on the wrong link due to its placement.

I thought you were going to include the highscore tables etc... Good, but this is hardly a development…you could ‘ve included it earlier.
