Flash game tutorial ‘Whale’ score and graphics

First of all make sure you read previous posts about this Flash game tutorial:

1) Introducing Willy The Whale
2) Advanced Movement
3) Shooting the whale

Ok, this time just a small update. First I have new graphics for boat movie clip which I still don’t like and spear movie clip which I think is fine. Actually, my plan was to finish code first and in the end to add graphics, even maybe alternative versions or something similar, but I did some other vector work recently and this just has imposed.

Two new text fields included, static text field ‘hits’ and dynamic text field with instance name ‘hits_txt’. Code addition include just few lines, first variable to keep track of the score:

wv.hits = 0;
hits_txt.variable = wv.hits;

Later inside spear hit test with Willy code added this:

wv.hits += 1;
sp.status = false;
this._x = fishermen_mc._x - 30;
this._y = fishermen_mc._y + 10;
hits_txt.text = wv.hits;

Now, this is just a beginning for scoring system and besides that spear doesn’t act like it should, it reappears right away after hitting the whale. Next thing to do is to create oxygen level indicator for Willy, because I want him to have a need for oxygen, so he can’t hide himself at the ocean floor forever. This will make our game more interesting.

Roland Garros Official Flash Game

I am little crazy about sports Flash games. It is for me first category I check when run into new games portal. Among sports games, tennis must be my favorite, not table tennis, but regular one. You can imagine my reaction when I find out about Official Roland Garros Flash multiplayer game.

When you register (which is required) you can choose to play MONO player mode (against different levels of computer opponent) or MULTI player mode (against live opponents). While playing you win points and even you get rankings. You also participate in MULTI match of the day competition. This means daily prizes like a pair of adidas genius novak tennis shoes worth 130 euros or Roland Garros Monogrammes beach towel worth 65 euros or lacoste fragrance worth 55 euros and many more.

In general competition prizes are even better. First prize is longines admiral watch worth 2140 euros! Next you can win nespresso machine or dunlop tennis racket (real thing not virtual one) etc …

Playing is easy to learn but hard to master. You will use only your mouse for moving and shot action. Keyboard is used for specific shots. There is no drop shot action, which is little weird, at least for me cause it’s my favorite one.

Don’t expect everything to work perfectly. You can find yourself playing with bot (it happend to me) and you will not win that one except if you written that bot

If you have match point in multiplayer game and your opponent decides to drop the game you will not get any ranking points, so don’t get frustrated.

Otherwise I hope you’ll enjoy it and see you in final!
