FlyerGame – One Game, Many Many Frameworks
I wanted to test out a few game frameworks learn more about AS3, Unity, HTML5, and other platforms. Here is a complete list of many, many version with full source code (See ‘Members Resources’ below).
Articles
I wrote ‘Flyer Game’ for a series of articles I wrote for Adobe’s “Inspire” (formerly ‘EDGE’) online magazine. To appreciate the HTML5 versions of the game, its great to look back at the general game theory as well as the Flash theory shown in these articles.
- In “An introduction to developing games on the Adobe Flash Platform” I overview the complete AS3 source code in my article
- In “Developing Flash Platform games with the PushButtonEngine” I used a popular framework (PBE) to create the same game.
