The Console Wars

[Curt]

This is my first attempt at flash so don't make fun, please.

This was a group project for my Computer Science 205 Course. C++ Programming for Game Design. I ended up doing all the work, because the people in my group didn't feel they knew enough flash.

It's still a WIP (Work In Progress) as I need to put in a loading screen, and have "Play Again" and "Return to Homepage" buttons when the animation ends.
Oh and the guy at the end, is my CSC Professor, Dr. Lawrence Kroll. He's a good guy, and a pacifist so I think it works.

Anyways, here it is:

I was expecting me to pop out of the PlayStation3 for some reason

I can easily make a Neo-Geo.com Remix. (But after finals Ok?)

 

[Amano Jacu]

I just can't load the flash

Call it the "fanboy remix"

PS- That's really good for being your first attempt at Flash.

EDIT = PPS- I read your blog thanks to that link.

What is a good flash animation program???
Me needs FLASH! And i dont want to need to have 63 degrees in advanced computing to make some crap 5 second animation discussing hobnob biscuits!

Well, I tried. The thing just keeps loading and loading and loading........How large is the file and how fast is the server it is on?

 

[Curt]

The file is only 400k, and it's off my Univerisity's T3.

Today i'm going to tweak it to have a loading screen etc, which should fix the problems.

My first time loading it, All I saw was a white box for a minute or two then it finally played... maybe just give it sometime. And i've only tested it with Mozilla so far.

Same here, it kept loading for like more than 15 minutes and I gave up.

It doesn't do everything Flash does, it's like a watered down version. But it does all the basic/most used things and makes them dead simple.

 

[Neon_Sonic]

Won't load for me either.

P.S. - Were you trying to give someone a seizure?

 

[Curt]

Sorry bout that folks. I should have it fixed shortly.

Thanks for helping me out by testing it... if my instructor were to have the same problem when he tried to load it, I would be doomed.

Thankyou, that was very helpful.

Thankyou, that was very helpful.

You probably meant to say "inspiring".

Okay folks, I messed around with it a bit, and it seems to be working in Mozilla and Explorer now. I believe it had to do with keeping the flash file in the same dir as the html file. Mozilla didn't mind...explorer did. Absolute versus relative references can be a headache.

Anyways, here's the link

[Amano Jacu]

It now works in Explorer

I was expecting some sort of Star Wars flick.

Maybe Sony as the Sith, M$ as a Jedi and Nintendo as... erm.. Yoda?
