What a Place to Live!

I was arranging the files that I had to send to the guys I worked for on some games today. As I was packing the files, I saw a Flash game that I did earlier last year during my internship. I almost forgotten about this game! That was like so long ago.

I could remember that I was asked to do a maze game in Flash during the internship for one of their clients. At first, I thought the maze could look very complex and I should prepare something for that. I had the idea to make this process a more simplified one.

I started writting a set of classes that allows me to design the map and place game items on the maps. The set of classes(or rather the main thing) will calculate and handle the collision detections and renders the map. Each individual items should be an object of itself so that I could make the different items in the game to have its own properties and magical capabilities. And I can easily add the items as children of the main game by calling addChild().

Since the client did not send us the information for the game yet that time, I used the Bomberman sprites as a demonstration for them. I later was busy with some other things and didn’t have any time for this. The eventual maze game(for the client) also turned out to be a lot simpler and didn’t require any major enhancement, which was also another reason I didn’t go on to make improvements. The main reason was of course I am very very very lazy.

What really beats me is how could I have forgotten about this…Bomberman was one of my favourite childhood superheroes…I even collected many sets of their models! haha!
