game developers. Rather than focusing on a bunch of low-level
how-to material, this book dives straight into building games. The
book is divided into specific game genre projects, covering
everything from old classics such as a Missile Command-style game,
to hot new genres such as retro evolved. The chapters build in
complexity through the book, and new tools are introduced along the
way that can be reused for other games.The game projects covered
start simple and increase in complexity as more and more tools are
added to your tool chest. Ten full game projects are discussed in
detail. Each solves a very different game development problem and
builds on the knowledge gained from the previous project. Many
advanced game development techniques are covered, including
particle systems, advanced controls, artificial intelligence,
blitting, scrolling, and more. What you'll learn Flash/Flex
