Round and Around - Loop de Loop
Slugfest
This is a big animation (1024 x 768 pixels), and longer than I've done before too at 30 seconds. The buttons don't do anything (yet) but I eventually want to get a better grip on ActionScript so they can start and stop the motion and maybe do a few other things with the slugs and the firecrackers, apples, bowling balls and flying paper plates. The cars could maybe do something too I suppose. There are so many tweens in this, I'm a little dizzy. After what I learned last week, with more time, I could add audio and some other features too.
A few (somewhat) interesting notes:
• As I put this together I found myself thinking how much this reminds me of the opening title sequences of old stand-up coin-operated video games. That wasn't what I was originally going for, but I'm okay with it.
• The flying white thing that looks like a pie (or a UFO) across the top was originally intended to be a paper plate.
• I named the fast-moving slug (with the black spots) that goes left to right across the bottom, "Sluggo." It would be fun to add a salt shaker, just for him.
If I put a token in, maybe it will work even better.
