:pointr:Changed FPS (on the advice of ~Pomarzrs) and the speed.
:pointr: Added body.
:pointr: Added color.
:pointr: Added arms. Took away the up and down movements.
:pointr: Specialized base into Xydan and used _xscale for shorter coding.
:pointr: Animation?
:pointr: Jump!

11/29
:pointr: Stopped walking animations when no keys are pressed. Credit for code goes to ~Pomarzrs

11/30
:pointr: Added blinking on accident though he only blinks when he's not going through his walking animation... It was either this or have him blinking every other frame when he's walking...

Click on it and then use the arrow keys to... umm... move in a circle? Or walk off the edges because I haven't made boundaries yet...

I know it sucks but you can't believe how hard it was for me. Originally I wasn't gonna show it off but now I'm proud of getting this far
Though it's not that far from knowing nothing about Flash at all...

Before it worked fine, but I hadn't added the feature where it turns to the left when you move left so I wasn't exactly happy with it. I fiddled with it but I messed it up and I had to start all over.

The problem was that I was putting the actions of the object into the actual time line. Hah, and I guess that was suppose to be an easy mistake to troubleshoot. I'm glad I started over though. I feel cleaner now.

Learn from my mistakes:
:pointr: Don't make a movie clip from other movie clips that have actions in them already... I had use the original head and added a body to it and gave the whole thing more actions so the head didn't move with the body...

My goal is to make the video game I have in my head but if you had lived with me throughout my childhood, you'd know that I would always say that I'd make a game but would soon quickly give up in the planning process.

I like drawing in Flash. Now I know why John Su does it...

Thanks to :iconhaventownsend:. If you visit his journal, you'll know why...

Just one question: How many lines of code it took you?
:iconhaventownsend:
it shouldnt have taken much, about 4 per key, so approx. 12-16 i think?

You add a different symbol per key, you have to have one symbol like "face_left" or "face_right" then put those individual symbols, or movie clips if you made a walking animation.

Nice :) My first walking code took about 200 lines (dont ask me why xD ).
Only thing to your animation:
- Make FPS about 62, it will be smoother;
- Key code can take even less than 10 lines, but you must know how to use 'for();'.
- You did two movieClips for one waling animation? '"face_left" or "face_right"' ? Try using "MovieClip_mc._xscale = -100";

And one suggestion:
- Dont start making game before you will learn what is 'function();' and 'for(...;...;...){};' :)
Else you will probably make 400+ code lines and no game.

Lol though just simple that is pretty cute and clever, I wouldn't be able to do that o__o

25 though that's a bit exaggerated because I'm a neat freak and I give curly brackets their own line.

Puh-lease... I'm not that smart so if I can do it, I'd think most other people can as well.

But the codes are a pain. Did you figure it out or did you have help with the coding?
