#ScreenshotSaturday #Coding #ActionScript ---- Developer's Journal ---- My Very Old Game....

I found out this old and dusty game as I cleaned up my hard drive yesterday. It was written in ActionScript (for Flash) when I was a student of Multimedia of IT. Basically you just need to ‘’kill’’ those hearts with a tiny arrow, and computer will record your score, etc. Creating this game was such a fun experience, yet the game is not bug-free --- after re-examining my very first game.  

The major data types I used in this game include, String, Number, Array, int, LoadVars, Function, EventListener, etc. There is a countdown timer event to be used in this game, and the getRandom/Math.floor(Math.random()) to generate a pseudo-random number.

“If…else” conditional statement is also used in this ActionScript game (with those brackets), i.e:

function clickHandler2(event:MouseEvent):void{

        if(highest>5){

        gotoAndStop(4); //frame by frame

        }else{

                 //create a popup window if the highest number <5 font="">

               this.addChild(popup01); //display the popup window

                this.popup01.x=100; //set the x coordinate of the popup

                this.popup01.y=150; //set the y coordinate of the popup

        }

}

But I think Python is indeed a much cleaner programming language, at least we don’t need to deal with those little brackets here --- Readability Counts.

When I have time, I might debug and clean up my old ActionScript codes used in this little game (total 5 frames), and post here for reference.

Merry Christmas!
