Each game introduces new game development skills, techniques, and concepts.

Following the style of the blog, with games dissected and explained line by line, in the book every feature of the game is explained in deep detail. I just want you to know the chapters initially have been decided to be 11, but due to the high number of pages, we had to drop a chapter. Each game introduces new game development skills, techniques, and concepts. By the end of the book you will have built ten complete games – and have the skills you need to design and build your own game ideas.

During 2019, I published or updated 25 game tutorial series featuring almost every kind of game: physics games, endless runner, puzzles, match 3 games, action games and more.

In each chapter you'll build a complete game, starting with simple puzzlers and working your way up to games similar to the most popular online casual games. Each game introduces a range of essential skills that all Flash game developers should know. There's never a dull moment - you're building working, fun games right from Chapter 1. If you've never developed a game before or you've made a start but want to refine your skills and build complete, successful projects then this book is just what you need.

This book is written by the author of one of the largest flash game development blogs online, so you know you'll be getting information from an expert in the subject.

Each chapter involves creating a game from scratch in the flash IDE, with the games being as follows:

Chapter 1: Concentration (matching 2 card game)
Chapter 2: Minesweeper
Chapter 3: Connect Four
Chapter 4: Snake (The phone game, where the snake keeps growing longer as you eat apples)
Chapter 5: Tetris
Chapter 6: Astro-PANIC! (A shooter with the ship on the bottom of the screen, and `aliens' randomly flying around the screen)
Chapter 7: Bejeweled
Chapter 8: Puzzle Bobble (like bubble bobble- shoot circles from the bottom, have them stick together, and disappear when 3 in a row are found)
Chapter 9: Ball Balance (A addictive little game he made on kongregate, where you drop balls onto a balance, and need to keep it from tipping over by keeping it as balanced as possible)

It's neat to be able to see how each game is made, from the beginning, as well as see how another programmer goes from the design phase up to completion, and the author takes an iterative approach - every bit of code added onto the previous section adds functionality - so you get to see every change being made.

His target audience does seem to be someone familiar with drawing in flash, and who has had some actionscript, or at least programming experience before. So if you've been using flash, and have an understanding about basic programming, but haven't made many games before, I would recommend it. Even for more advanced programmers, there are still helpful advice to learn from, such as using recursive functions.

You can check out the games I made from the book, a longer review, and a page about any possible syntax errors on my blog(chrismweb.com) here:

Purchased the ebook yesterday. I'm not new to Flash, but I am a novice with ActionScript 3.0.

This is a great book but it moves very quickly. If you are new to AS3 I would suggest at least getting another book with more details as well as this one. Then you'll have someplace to go when you need more explanation. Items like Event Listeners are covered very quickly and you really need to understand them. The author assumes you are already familiar with the Flash IDE and things like drawing in Flash and timelines, which is fine as long as you know that before you buy the book.

The programming methodology taught in this book is sound and the games are fun to build. This would be a perfect book for an AS3 programmer looking to break into game programming.

I also own ActionScript 3.0 Game Programming University (2nd Edition) and think that is a great book to accompany this one. It assumes less knowledge going in.

I give this book 5 stars, as long as you are in the target audience of people mildly familiar with AS3 and the Flash application.

I am not new to Flash but I am new to Actionscript. I just finished the first chapter, and at the end of the chapter it tells you to make some additions to the game on your own - as if they have taught you enough to actually do that. I found myself mindlessly following instructions while learning very little - definitely not enough to make up my own code. At the end of the first chapter I can recollect how the basic structure of the Actionscript code should be - but much little else.

It doesn't explain much of anything; its more like "We need to make this do this - so lets add this cryptic code here without any explaination of the code itself, its purpose or why it needs to be here...". Sure it works - but what the hell did I just do??? The book is very presumtious in that aspect - just throwing things at you with little to no definition.

The reason i started looking into books is becuase I have tried quite a few online tutorials (including the Avoider Game one) and there always seems to be something missing. I thought a book would be more comprehensive - but not this one. After messing around with this I went back to looking at online tutorials because I had no understanding whatsoever of what it all meant.

I'd like to add that I am not a novice with computing - just with coding ActionScript. My review is not based on me not understanding how computers work - or Flash for that matter. I build and service computers, and can write code in HTML, DHTML, XML, CSS, Javascript and even familiar with C++, Java, Basic, Visual C, etc. Its based on the fact that the book is not a good resource for newbies to Flash development like myself and does not deserve 5 stars.

Flash Game Development by Example is based on 9 Flash game projects. Every project is structured in the same way. The author starts with conceptual and design aspects and then leads the reader through the process of creating from scratch a complete game. Many diagrams, pictures and code snippets help to understand the key functional aspects of every game. Projects address some development issues which need to be resolved like showing smooth animations, preventing player from cheating, using timers, managing game assets, just to name the few.

This book is great for anyone who prefers learning by doing. I really like its simplicity and clear explanations of game's logic. The book is aimed to developers willing to begin creating Flash games. After reading it they should start developing simple Flash games on your own without any problems. A very nice book to read!
