Insult Dueler: Building a Flash game on Adobe AIR
Adobe AIR is a thrilling new frontier for anyone who is accustomed to building browser-based games and applications. To show off some of the cool features of Adobe AIR, I’ve built a fun little game inspired by a mini-game in the LucasArts series Monkey Island. I wrote the game in ActionScript 3 and created all of the animations on the Timeline in Flash CS3 Professional. I’ll share with you some of the thinking that went into the design of the game, how I used Adobe AIR features such as the local database, custom chrome, file management, and cross-platform window control. Finally, I’ll show you how to package and deploy the finished game to the desktop using the new Adobe AIR extension for Flash CS3 Professional.
You can read the article, download the game and get the source all at the brand new Adobe Developer Center.
And let me know what you think, too.
