Character Effects

We have learned about character effects using action script. You can make your character do all kinds of neat stuff with a little code. Although it isn't necessary, this can add a nice touch to your game.

Testing and debugging

This is probably the most important topic we've covered. When you finish your game, you want to make sure that it works correctly or you're going to have a lot of angry players. This is also a great way to beef up coding skills.

Coding Enemies

If you have enemies in your game, you may want them to behave a certain way or to do certain things to you if you get too close. Very important if there are "enemies" in your game.

Platforms

So if you're running and jumping or what have you, platforms can be important. That is unless you want your character to just fall through everything.

Running and Jumping

Running and jumping is a great thing to know. Especially if you're making a side scrolling action game.

Drag and Drop

Drag and drop can be very important to your game if it has a, well you guessed it, drag and drop interface.

Timer

You may or may not want to put a timer in your game, depending on what kind of game it is. If it's a game that requires you to do something in a certain amount of time, hey, you might want to put a timer on it.
