  Tutorial: Flash Games Building a Text Game Tutorial

Remember the old text games on the Spectrum that gave us hours of fun? Here's how to build one using Flash MX, long live the text game!

Tutorial Details:

Building a text game

Anyone who grew up playing Spectrums like myself will appreciate the good 'ol text games where what you type in controls what happens in the game. In this tutorial hopefully I will convince a few people to add some text games to the web using Flash. I've used various other bits of software which claim to be fantastic and sell themselves on 'you don't need to know code to make a text game'. However they all take so long to learn to use and are very limited,
whereas using Actionscript means you can build the game with endless possibilities. Check out the attached .fla file to see what a couple of rooms in the final game will look like.

The layers

Create 3 layers as shown in the image below, 'Code', 'Main', 'Image1'. The Image1 layer is optional depending on whether you want images as aids in the text game or not.
