Action Game: What I'm Going To Do From Here

I am going to add more levels to my game to help the player deepen his understanding of malware. I am thinking about adding a maze or multiple mazes to my game. I am also thinking about an jumping platform games like the castle ones in mario. The ones where you start at the bottom and the finish is at the top. I am still thinking about other ideas for my game. I want to add a timer on my game that I have now. I would also like to add some background music to my whole game. I think that would help it.

Action Game: Add Game Ingredients

One of the biggest problems I had while working on my game was the bullets. My game is a platform jumping game that scrolls from left to right. It is also on the same level so when it shoots, the bullet travels from the beginning of the game to the end. I did now want this happening since it takes away from the challenge of the game. On top of this you could only shoot one bullet. This turned out to be a bigger problem then I thought. I had to look online at multiple websites and forums. The website that helped me the most was probably as3gametuts.com. It showed me how to add code to a specific movieClip, or class. This helped a lot. I was able to add multiple bullets and then delete/destroy them when they reached the edge of the screen. This problem took me a while to solve but it worked out in the end.

Action Game: Add Enemy

My enemy is a enemy that just moves left to right in the same spot. Other ways I could make my enemy would be to make it follow the player. I could also make it so it moves up or down. Making the enemy move up or down adds more aspects to the game. Making the enemy follower the player makes the player always be on the move and thinking about how his movements will affect the enemy's movements.
