AS3: Game development

Question

Hi!

I am looking a game framework for flex/AS3. I want to use it to create simple 2d games, such as tower defense, etc.

Maybe someone can suggest something?

Answer 1

You dont need a game framework, AS3 alone is enough to create games. I recommend the Shootorials over at Kongregate. Its a step by step tutorial for creating a sidscrolling shooter. You can find the first step here and you can (if youre curious) play the intended end result here.

Edit: I assumed that Flex wasnt important. If it is, some follow the "Shootorials with free tools" forum thread, also on Kongregate. I read those myself back when I tried flash, the result was.... meh.
