There's one week left for the FlashLite competition, I think most people will
have their entries ready and submitted or inthe final stage of testing by now.
Just thought I'd start a thread where we can post info about what we made and
why... what we came up against etc.

For my entry I decided to make a game. I've been working on tile based engines
for Flash 6 and 7 for a while and decideded (without looking at the CDK) that I
would make one of those for FlashLite.

I checked out the CDK to see what I would need to do to to port my current
tile engine. I was pretty horrified when I found out there was no attach movie
or arrays. I set about adding all my clips manually to the stage and naming
them as I would have if they had been attached. Each tile is a movieclip with a
different graphic on every frame.

For my levels I build a virtual array every time the user enters a new room.
Each level is a new swf, and each room is a frame in that swf. I have each
frame labeled like map_row_col (map_2_4 for example). On that frame I set 2
strings, one for the tile type, and 1 for the gfx frame. I pass that to a
rendering frame in the main movie with splits the strings into 143 tiles and
143 gfx tiles (the screen is 11 tiles wide by 13 tiles high (tile is 16 * 16))
then applies that to each tile, making the redundant ones invisible.

When I move the character I check against the virtual array to make sure there
are no collisions.

Hopefully we can all show what we submitted?

Hi,

on the screen shots, we can see SPV Orange.
Is there a flashLite Player for this phone !!!!!

Really amazing work with the tile based game, but how are you going to package
it. I mean the game along with the swf files have to be in one folder right, so
if the user installs it in a particular directory how will he access it.

check the list of support devices for the contest here:

order. Made it for n-gage only.
