Topic, Computer/ Flash help!!!

  But I don't recommend getting into Flash 8 now, because it's kinda old technology. Sure, you can still make great games with it, but it's three versions behind! You're better of trying to get a copy of Flash CS5, or using the free Flex SDK.

And yes, the upcoming IE9 has really good HTML5 and CSS3 support, but the last time I checked it was still in preview/beta stage. :p

  Ahroo it's not taking MY flash 8, it doesn't actually check on the internet if the serial code is valid and thus presented a major security problem.

  But, the difference is that my IE8 can beat your IE9 up. xP

  I agree with Ahroo. In fact, IE9 has pretty good JavaScript support

  I hope the IE thing is a joke, Gecko. ._.'

I have an IE that probably runs better than all the rest, even on Vista. :/

Though, you are right, Game Maker is noobish. :p

  Here are some of the ways to make games for free.

Learn the clean and simple Lua programming language, then use the simple and well-documented LÖVE game engine to make Windows, Mac, an Linux games using Lua.

Learn the powerful-but-complicated ActionScript 3 language, then download the free Flex 4 SDK and the FlashDevelop IDE and make Flash games (it's not easy). Theres a great set-up tutorial for that by ChevyRay.

Use the educational drag-and-drop Scratch programming environment to make simple Java games. It is super easy, but it takes a lot of work to get something complex or professional in it.

Use Game Maker, a popular (but somewhat noobish) choice. Still, there's nothing wrong with using it, some epic games have been made by people that really know it inside out!

Use JavaScript. If you have a good browser (that is, anything but Internet Explorer) you can draw on the new <canvas> element and use the new <audio> and <video> tags to make stunning web games! I'll leave it to you to research that some more if you choose it.

  Beware, AK. You may feel really, REALLY guilty if you take MARC's flash 8... that's why I stopped the download. D:

  uh...no, pretty sure you can find an installer+key on the net if you know where to look
search "flash8_en.exe" for a trial

  Can I use yours? Is that possible? Can you put a screenshot of what it looks like?

  ok, right now i'm working on drawing pixels using C++
I need to set up SDL :_

  So Flash 8...... I'll try and get it.



Crap. $699????????

  yeah...bit of a flaw :P

  Yeah, GM isn't exactly prime real estate for game creation on the net... as far as I know, it only works for 1 site. :/

  no, I don't think so...

  It isn't AS, is it? :p

  What about Game Maker? The version you pay for is free when you download via hTorrent(The h is upside down)

  Go for gold, kid. :p

  My dad's home. Now I won't be able to do anything until Sunday, 4:00-6:00.

Maybe I won't be able to create the game. :(

  Sorry, was playing Robot Wants Ice Cream. xP

Anyways, I'll probably start learning AS once I get flash... :/

  flash 8 :D

  What flash did you use?

  uh...you should be making this in flash...learn how read the tutorials in flash press F1 lol

  PLEASE HELP!!!!

  lol...it's so easy :3

  Okay, I will put it on there.

At least i'll try......

How do I make my game into a SWF file??????

  uh...SWFCABIN I must play...
swfcabin.com

  Congratulations! You've unlocked a new game!

Yes, it needs work, but this will be the game i'm creating!

  lol...I need creativity, and determination!

  ... My problem is the exact opposite. I have lots of ideas, I just don't have anything to create them with. xP

  I think you should use swfcabin and upload the swf
[edit] also, you might find the hard part of creating a game is coming up with something to create...
