Reading

I used Flash MX 2004 Games, Art to Actionscript for my initial research into scripting for games. This gave me some good ideas, even though it is a little out of date the principals remain true today and it covers a good amount about creating graphics and then producing working script. I made a prototype version of a ping-pong game adding my own graphics. It has a few bugs as the script used the x & y positions of the bat & ball instances to calculate the if logic responses and I changed the size of some of the objects. I didn't read it cover to cover as some of the details were more about how to use flash drawing tools and I have already covered this in the 2 Lynda DVD's I have done.
I also skimmed Foundation Actionscript Animation, Making things move however this was a little more advanced then I was looking for covering things like particle physics. Some interesting subjects which I shall come back to when I'm ready.
