I'm making a new Flash game

An old NG boomer who refuses to accept that Flash 8 is not longer viable for gamedev. I just want to make some games and live peacefully. I once placed in the top 5 of the month. Started with sprite animations, then learned music, game design and coding.

I'm making a new Flash game

Posted by Sonucais - October 2nd, 2021

Hello Newgrounds Community.

I joined a 168 hours gamejam last week, the most important yearly Spain gamejam (I really needed to disconnect) and I solo-made Chair Bound! I wasn't able to finish it but I will eventually complete it and submit it to the Portal. Current version is stable though.

Edit: I won 3rd place on sound category.

By the way, works flawless on Ruffle. You can watch the trailer below.

I'm also working on making touch controls (with JavaScript) for phone users for the Ruffle version and will try to implement gamepad support as well. Remember, Flash does not allow multi-touch this solution was needed. Everything will be included in RetroFlash Toolkit.

Good :)!

Have you considered porting it to Haxe? I believe HaxeFlixel has out-of-the-box gamepad and other controller support.

Sonucais 2021-10-02 01:54:26

Ive never understood Haxe because I miss Dlash tools and it also uses AS3, not 2. I'll be learning GameMskerStudio2, I already habe the licence with Android and HTML5 export bought, Im just lazy to lesrn it.

@Gimmick Haxe has Gamepad support this whole time!?!

Sonucais 2021-10-02 05:46:45

You can add gamepad even to old flash with javascript.

@Gimmick Oh God, I can't delete my own reply. I was writing it without my glasses on and it got many typos.

Gimmick 2021-10-03 00:54:30

@Sonucais Got it. I've been meaning to get started with Godot but laziness on my end along with other commitments makes it SO easy to just keep postponing it forever...

@MassiveMarioLuigi700 The programming language doesn't, but if you use HaxeFlixel (a framework for making games that you code with in Haxe) then yes it comes with gamepad support. Check out the docs: https://haxeflixel.com/documentation/gamepads/

@MassiveMarioLuigi700 @Sonucais No.. way! I've been dying to experiment on gamepad functionality, how do you do such a thing? Just import your game to javascript?

Sonucais 2021-10-13 18:07:07

Just a little example:

JS sends like this:
document.getElementById('myFlashMovie').press_LEFT();

AS2 receives like this:
System.security.allowDomain("*");
flash.external.ExternalInterface.addCallback("press_LEFT", this, press_LEFT);
function press_LEFT(){ "do something to move left" }

@MassiveMarioLuigi700 @Sonucais @Sonucais interesting, I'm a bit new to all of this so do i use visual studio code, flashdevelop to import these codes to my game?

Sonucais 2021-10-17 23:45:13

I dont know. I use Flash 8 and Notepad++

Sonucais 2021-10-29 22:50:36

@MassiveMarioLuigi700 I don't know. I use Macromedia Flash 8 for Flash. I guess you can use Visual Studio for Html and Js
