Time to play Icy Bubble, a flash game submitted by Abilash, an old time reader. Like other “ball” games, the aim of the game is to take the small bubble through all levels, avoiding the environment and other dangerous things.

April 29th update: part 2 released July 27th update: part 3 released Some days ago a reader told me about Security 2 game.

April 21st update: part 2 released June 15th update: part 3 released Some days ago I received a very very interesting email from Kevin W.

When I was looking at Linkin Park homepage, I was impressed by the intro. It’s very simple but very nice. To do something similar, we need four elements: 1) A b/w photo with an high contrast 2) PhotoShop 3) Flash 4) An awesome music track Finding the photo It’s quite easy to find (or shot) [...]

March 14th update: part 5.3 released. Now we will discuss about code optimization (the boring – but very important – part) and some visual tricks to make the game look better, and some more issues. Code optimization In tutorials 1 to 5.1, I always include the ball actionscript in the ball object. This is correct, [...]
