Today We worked on making a basic version of pong with flash, now I've done this before at college using ActionScript 2.0 but we are currently using ActionScript 3.0 which is annoyingly very similar and different at the same time so I've spent most of the time getting confused as I try to get out of the habits I had in AC2 and get used to the different syntax of AC3.
I royally messed up with my game and with a lot of help from Chris (as in he nearly remade the whole thing) I (Chris) got it up to a standard that it actually did something! next week I'll hopefully manage to add scores and make the trajectory random with a speed increase.
Here it is in all its basic glory!

Another thing I have done today is make some the elements I'm going to use in our reskin/redesign of Sportswheel
I am most pleased with the planet I made and here it is below;
We also met up with our groups and had a little mini meeting about our group project
I am in a group with
Ross Fraser
Sean Edwick
Tom White
Adam Woodhouse
and together we will be working to create Circuit Absurdity (a concept design by Ross and Sean) which will be a Key Stage 1 game to teach children about circuits.

Nice one mate, the planet looks good!
