Actionscript 3 Sling Shot Apps Tutorial for Mobile Devices or Browser-Play
This tutorial covers every step in programming a sling shot game using Flash and Actionscript 3. Use the mouse or finger to pull down an object into the sling shot and try to launch it over an obstacle into a target. Once the basic game is complete, we also look at using a mobile device’s accelerometer to change the gameplay or physics (tested on the Android & iPhone OS). Once you’ve worked through the tutorial, you should be able to:
- Add more levels
- Add multiple targets
- Add extra collision objects (like the scout character)
- Change the physics to make the slingshot more bouncy or increase the gravity.
All source files are included and the .fla files are compatible with Flash CS3 , CS4 and CS5 . To test exporting for mobile devices, you’ll need the Adobe Air packager extension for either Flash CS5 or Flash CS5 .5 (already included with CS5 .5)
