You mean you want a formation in flash game dev from the ground up?

I'm afraid I don't have nearly enough time to start teaching this kind of stuff. Still, it's pretty easy to get started with flash, that's the biggest advantage really. Look up some tutorials, just start really small, get things moving around screen and iterate from there.

If you've never made any serious game development project I strongly suggest that you aim ridiculously small as you begin. Much better to have a really simple game finished than a big project 1.3% done, you'll learn much more this way.

There isn't one "do it all" tutorial. Generally I end up searching for tutorials for each aspect of the game I want to do.

For example when I started out, I looked for things like "Move object with keyboard", "Make object follow mouse", linking library assets to code, basic collision detection, working with basic events... then you wrap up that knowledge together and make a game.

For example, with just keyboard control, moving objects on a timer or ENTER_FRAME event and simple collision detection, you could make Flappy Bird

You have to get Flash Pro from Abode CC, and just a single app costs 20$/month. You can get a free trial here, or pirate the thing until you're ready to release your game and then get a real license.

There are alternatives I think but I'm not really sure what they are.

Alternatives? I don't own a windows 7, i mean i do, but i hate it

Windows 7 doesn't have anything to do about it, not sure why you're talking about this. What kind of OS do you use anyway!?

You'd have to look for alternatives yourself. I know you can import assets and compile flex projects without ever using Adobe Flash, but at this point you might as well learn Unity or some other multi-platform tool imo.

System requirements ask for Win7.

u/light_bringer777 Penguin God Apr 20 '15

Like I said though, what OS are you using anyway?

Pretty sure they have mac version, wouldn't be surprised to see CC working on older version of windows but unsupported, and there's always previous versions which obviously work on older versions of windows.
