Look, nobody is going to conveniently make a step by step instruction guide describing exactly how to make the game you are trying to make. I mean, when I went to make Z-Tower, it's not like I could just search for a tutorial on "how to make a vertically scrolling platform jumping game with powerups" and follow a simple guide.

If you make a "game" just by following a tutorial word for word, on just copying and pasting the code without having a clue what any of it means, your game will suck, and you will never be taken seriously or respected as a game developer. It sounds harsh, but theres the truth for you. Judging by your attitude, you're impatient and just want someone to walk you through every part of your game without having to think about it.

It doesn't work that way.

If you want to make games, you've got to learn code. Start small, with simple tutorials and guides that explain to you the syntax and basic elements of actionscript or whatever coding language you're working with. As you learn new functions of the language try to understand HOW they work so you can take them out of the context of the tutorial and use them in your own code. It's going to take a lot of time, effort, and practice, and if you're not willing to put that dedication into it, don't even bother.


And stop bitching at everyone in the thread, they're offering legitimate advice and you're just being whiny and stubborn and refusing to listen to what they're saying.

I cant turn the link into a URL yet but copie and paste this into your browser. It's what I used for my first game. Hope it helps.
