Got a lot of stuff working this last few days.
The visuals are coming together quite nicely, not beautiful, but it is as good as I am able to do. Not the greatest when it comes to drawing. But I think I’m getting the retro motifs that I want out of it.
Code wise though, I’ve implemented the life system. Wrong answer and you lose life.
Timer is in place, with all that which comes with that.
Back and forth between all the frames are going good.
What is left on the main game frame is getting the points from the xml, turning the text into numbers which with I can do math and get total score.
Then I can implement the system for earning extra lives, since that can’t be implemented until I have the point system working properly.
THEN I can finally start tackling the issue with keep track of the players score and stats. Which will give me the opportunity to do some fun stuff with achievements, facebook status pushes etc.
I think I have to re-think my schedule though. With school starting again worktime for this project might be few and far between. I do hope to get as much programing done before the semester starts. That way I can work on the question xml, which is work I can do on and off.
If anyone cares, do drop into my ask box :)

This shit will not break me!
*goes to get mooooaaaarr coffee*
I put the last touches on the game code tonight.
Finally got my head around it and built functions that generate random number and checks if it’s in the played level array or not.
Also got a build of the game running on my Android phone :D
So now the code allows for random placement of buttons but also of level that is played. Giving a much needed variety to the order of what levels are played.
That concludes my programming exam. Cleaning up the folders and my part of the report to hand in tomorrow.
With this codebase we are ready to re-work the visuals and the type of quiz/study aid game we want it to be and hopefully we will have an Android app ready for the market by the end of january, if not sooner :)
What kind of quiz/study aid game would you guys like to play?
First playable version of my group’s Flash and Actionscript 3 exam. It is a simple guessing game meant for 5th graders, though the questions aren’t made for them just yet.
There are a few known bugs in it still, if anyone give it a try and comes across anything weird in it please pm me :)
