as i only have so long to get this assignment done, and I have other assignments, I've decided to leave the code as is, and will use this post as a review of the assignment. When the assignment was given out, i hoped to achieve something of equal quality to games such as Mario or metal Slug. I soon found that a lot more difficult that I though and the finished result is no where near their equal.
First, I gathered all the assets i needed to get started. this involved my character, his walking animations and idle, the environment and objects for the character to interact with. When I started the Action Script 3, I began with the EventListeners, and got the parallax working when you press the right or left button. I found this easy enough, until about week 3, where I had to add the ability for my character to stop walking off the stage. I found implementing the interactions between my rhino and the items in the world such as the tent, the guns and the warning sign the most enjoyable, challenging and frustrating part of the coding. I had trouble getting the animations to do what I said, which the first 5 frames of the rhinos head exploding playing again and again, no matter what I do. eventually I got it working, but it took me way too long and drained my enthusiasm for the assignment.
as there is no new code, the .swf file is the same as last time.
